Contrast pairing
aRitual × Oud
White floral, woody and citrus meets woody, warm spicy and aromatic. They share six accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is aRitual, blue is Oud. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepaRitual brings citrus; Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fruity, floral and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put aRitual in winter and Oud in spring and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
What to watch
- One will leadOud is voted long lasting and strong; aRitual very weak and intimate. Expect Oud to lead and aRitual to fade first.
A starting pointOne spray of Oud, two of aRitual over it.Weighted toward the one that fades first. Adjust to taste.
