Contrast pairing

Fruity, sweet and tobacco meets citrus, woody and patchouli. They share five accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Verg, blue is Zen Concentrated. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadFruity, sweet, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Verg is very weak and enormous, Zen Concentrated long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointZen Concentrated first, then Verg over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
