Contrast pairing
R × Ostara
Tobacco, sweet and woody meets green, floral and yellow floral. 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 R, blue is Ostara. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
