Spicy

Angelica root smells like warm spice meets earthy celery, with an almost medicinal undertone that's unexpectedly sensual. Imagine biting into a piece of crystallised ginger, then discovering it's also faintly herbal and slightly bitter—like chewing on the roots of a plant that's been drying in autumn sun. There's a peppery kick underneath, with whispers of musk and something vaguely animalic. It's comforting yet slightly stern, never sweet.

Woody

Haitian Vetiver smells like you've just walked through a sun-baked garden after rainfall. Imagine the earthy, almost mineral scent of wet soil mixed with dried grass, green roots, and a whisper of smoke. There's a leathery undertone—like old saddle leather left in the sun—coupled with a subtle spiciness that recalls black pepper and dried tobacco leaf. It's grounding and slightly smoky, with an austere, almost medicinal quality that feels both calming and subtly warm.
