Harmony pairing

Brutus × Viride

Woody, patchouli and citrus meets aromatic, fresh spicy and woody. They share three accords and three notes.

The blend

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

Why it might work

Light over deepBrutus brings citrus; Viride brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list lavender, cedar and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Brutus in fall and Viride in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Brutus is long lasting and moderate, Viride long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
