How the pair leans

- Light over deepContradiction brings aromatic and citrus; Totem Blue brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list lemon and cardamom, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Totem Blue is moderate on both, Contradiction moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTotem Blue first, then Contradiction over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
