How the pair leans

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

Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadMusky, powdery, woody and green run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Beat is moderate on both, Xian moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
