Woody

Amber smells like warmth itself has been bottled. Imagine sun-baked resin, honey left out on a hot day, and the comforting scent of your skin after lying on a warm blanket. There's sweetness here—almost vanilla-like—but deeper, earthier, with hints of powdered spices and the faint smokiness of incense. It's simultaneously creamy and slightly bitter, like caramelised sugar with a woody undertone. It wraps around you like cashmere, never sharp or jarring.

Floral

Black violet doesn't smell like the delicate flowers you might pick from a garden. Instead, imagine the deep, powdery heart of crushed violet petals—earthy and slightly metallic, with an almost creamy, bittersweet quality. It carries whispers of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and old velvet fabric. There's a faint animalic warmth beneath, similar to how warm skin smells after wearing a wool jumper. It's sophisticated and slightly shadowy, far more complex than a cheerful floral.
