Tobacco, sweet and fruity meets citrus, fresh and aromatic. They share one accord and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is The Contortionist, blue is Orangerie Venise. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put The Contortionist in fall and Orangerie Venise in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Contortionist is moderate on both, Orangerie Venise moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Contortionist first, then Orangerie Venise over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
