Contrast pairing

Lira × Sarrasins

Vanilla, caramel and sweet meets white floral, floral and musky. They share three accords and two notes.

The blend

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Lira, blue is Sarrasins. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
