Every good fragrance needs a “duel”

Stumbled yesterday on the ice perfumer Jean Richard (Jean Guichard) "every good fragrance needs a" duel "- every good flavor needs a duel. In the duel, the confrontation, the confrontation of the two components. "They agreed. Wave and stone, Poetry and Prose, ice and fire. "
Immediately reminded of experiments Germaine Cellier with rose and galbanum into Vent Vert, lemon and vanilla, the Shalimar, class-for chypre confrontation bergamot - moss, fruit candy against black earth and pine needles in Angel (history repeated itself as farce in Lancome La vie est belle - shit and candy ) and slightly less contrast combinations of washing powder and sugar in fialkok Insolence, iris and hyacinth in Bas de soie Serge Lutens.
The list is endless. I think in any memorable, bright flavor can be found between Onegin and Lensky, contrast, color, temperature, texture and a lot of others.
Contrast can be so thin that its notice only a specialist: in the text, where I found a quote Guichard, they talked about the contrast geranium and ambroksa in Allure Homme Edition Blanche.

So in this example, I stumbled. Having twisted a few days probe Allure Homme Edition Blanche, I can only say that obscure the flavor, fresh, like the rest of the same obscure youth and fresh waters. Is that good? Talented? It's good fragrance?
Perhaps the words of a duel only to chemists, for those who distinguish between the minimum contrast, finds the game and charm in unexpected combinations. They are a good knitter looking surprised looking at the language of a complex pattern. But the pattern on the sweater - it's not the whole sweater.
If the words of the duel it was a contrast, marked the final link in the chain - consumers, then it's simple - this is a device of human head - a contrast attracts more and better remembered. But does that memorable - it's good? And tell me what dive in L`Heure Bleue?
That's the chain of thought, the Möbius strip for those who live in tin foil hat with stamps "the taste and color" and "to each his own." I would not want verdicts and diagnoses, but really want to discuss perfume duel.
