Contrast pairing

Caramel, sweet and salty meets citrus, green and leather. 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 Salt Caramel, blue is Totem Yellow. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

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