Contrast pairing
L’Ile Pourpre × Thé Noir
Fresh spicy, musky and woody meets smoky, woody and musky. They share four accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is L’Ile Pourpre, blue is Thé Noir. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
