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.

Gourmand

Vanilla sugar smells like comfort wrapped in sweetness—imagine biting into warm vanilla fudge or the interior of a freshly opened vanilla pod dusted with caster sugar. It's creamy and gourmand, with a subtle caramel warmth underneath. Unlike pure vanilla's slight earthiness, vanilla sugar feels indulgent and almost edible, like sweetened condensed milk or the aroma of baking vanilla custard. There's a mouth-watering quality that makes you want to taste it rather than simply smell it.
