Harmony pairing

Viride × Brutus

Aromatic, fresh spicy and woody meets woody, patchouli and citrus. They share three accords and three notes.

The blend

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