Woody

Ambrette smells like warm, slightly sweet timber with a subtle musks-like softness—imagine the dry wood of a cedar chest mingled with the faintest whisper of animal warmth and skin. It's neither aggressively woody nor perfume-counter musky; instead, it's gently creamy and intimate, with a hint of spice lurking beneath. Think of inhaling the scent of aged sandalwood that's been sitting next to a bowl of vanilla beans. It's comforting, almost skin-like in its adhesiveness.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
