Contrast pairing

Herbal, warm spicy and sweet meets citrus, fruity 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 Contre-Jour, blue is Polo Red Rush. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
