Contrast pairing
English Lavender × Chinese Tobacco
Lavender, aromatic and fresh spicy meets woody, amber and citrus. 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 English Lavender, blue is Chinese Tobacco. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepEnglish Lavender brings aromatic; Chinese Tobacco brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: English Lavender is long lasting and moderate, Chinese Tobacco moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChinese Tobacco first, then English Lavender over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
