Contrast pairing

Leather, woody and smoky meets citrus, woody and fruity. 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 Coeur De Noir, blue is CK1 Palace. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
