Contrast pairing

Avant × Smitten

Citrus, fresh spicy and aromatic meets woody, white floral and patchouli. They share five accords and one note.

The blend

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Avant, blue is Smitten. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
