Contrast pairing
Patchouli × 212 Men White
Patchouli, woody and warm spicy meets aromatic, woody 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 Patchouli, blue is 212 Men White. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
