Contrast pairing
Kote × Acqua Della Regina
Woody, tobacco and sweet meets citrus, aromatic and fresh spicy. They share three accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Kote, blue is Acqua Della Regina. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
