Contrast pairing
Sterling × Arcus
Green, leather and aromatic meets fresh spicy, citrus and aromatic. 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 Sterling, blue is Arcus. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
