Contrast pairing

Y Live × 2019

Fresh spicy, aromatic and citrus meets citrus, white floral and woody. They share five accords and one note.

The blend

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Y Live, blue is 2019. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.
