Contrast pairing

Woody, fruity and sweet meets citrus, floral and woody. 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 Urban Amazon, blue is Shiseido MG 5. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepShiseido MG 5 brings citrus; Urban Amazon brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus and fresh run through both.
A starting pointUrban Amazon first, then Shiseido MG 5 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
