Woody

Balsam fir smells like you've just snapped open a fresh evergreen branch on a crisp forest walk. It's resinous and clean, with a slightly medicinal pine character, yet warmer and softer than you'd expect. Imagine the green, slightly sticky sap on your fingertips, mixed with a whisper of sweetness—like honey drizzled over cedarwood. There's an almost minty freshness underneath, reminiscent of a forest after rain, with subtle citrus brightness that keeps it from feeling heavy or austere.

Floral

Cyclamen smells like a delicate, slightly peppery floral with an almost metallic, mineral whisper beneath. Imagine fresh petals crushed between your palms—there's a green, slightly bitter undertone reminiscent of crushed stems and leaves. It's softer than a rose, more ethereal than a peony, with a subtle spiciness that catches you by surprise, like discovering pepper hidden amongst a bouquet of spring flowers. There's also an indefinable freshness, almost ozonic, that keeps it from feeling too sweet or heavy.
