Contrast pairing

Obsidian × Bahjah

Woody, iris and powdery meets citrus, woody and mossy. They share three accords and no notes.

The blend

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

Why it might work

Light over deepBahjah brings citrus; Obsidian brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, earthy and citrus run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Obsidian in winter and fall and Bahjah in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Obsidian is long lasting and strong, Bahjah long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointObsidian first, then Bahjah over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
