Contrast pairing
Ultimate × Muse
White floral, fresh spicy and citrus meets aromatic, iris and woody. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Ultimate, blue is Muse. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
