Contrast pairing

The Cut × Darwin

Aromatic, woody and fresh spicy meets woody, aromatic and citrus. They share three accords and no notes.

The blend

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