Contrast pairing
Shi-sõ × Palermo
Green, aromatic and fruity meets citrus, fresh spicy 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 Shi-sõ, blue is Palermo. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Ambrette (Musk Mallow)Why it might work
- Fresh on freshPalermo brings citrus; Shi-sõ brings green and aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadGreen, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
What to watch
- One will leadShi-sõ is voted moderate on both; Palermo very weak and intimate. Expect Shi-sõ to lead and Palermo to fade first.
