Contrast pairing
English Major × Royal Service
Sweet, powdery and iris meets citrus, powdery and musky. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is English Major, blue is Royal Service. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadPowdery and iris run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put English Major in fall and winter and Royal Service in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: English Major is long lasting and moderate, Royal Service weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEnglish Major first, then Royal Service over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
