Contrast pairing
Falling Water × Black Whisper
Mossy, fruity and earthy meets patchouli, musky and earthy. 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 Falling Water, blue is Black Whisper. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
