Contrast pairing

Isfarkand × Hwyl

Citrus, woody and aromatic meets woody, aromatic and fresh spicy. They share five accords and two notes.

The blend

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