Contrast pairing
Raman × Different
Woody, earthy and aromatic meets lavender, citrus and aromatic. They share three accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Raman, blue is Different. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

PatchouliWhy it might work
- Light over deepDifferent brings citrus and aromatic; Raman brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Raman is moderate on both, Different long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRaman first, then Different over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
