Contrast pairing

Absinth × Solstis

Aromatic, green and woody meets citrus, fresh spicy and aromatic. They share four accords and one note.

The blend

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Absinth, blue is Solstis. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
