Woody

Balsam fir resin smells like stepping into a cool forest after rain. Imagine crushed evergreen needles, but warmer and stickier—with a subtle sweetness underneath, like honey drizzled over pine bark. There's a clean, almost medicinal crispness reminiscent of a chest rub or sauna steam, yet it carries an amber-like warmth that feels resinous and slightly tacky. It's the scent of fresh Christmas trees mixed with incense smoke—grounding, slightly spicy, deeply woody.

Green

Clary sage smells like walking through a sun-warmed herb garden after rain. Imagine crushed sage leaves—herbal and slightly peppery—but softer, more refined than common culinary sage. There's an unmistakable earthiness underneath, with whispers of something almost floral and slightly medicinal, like a heated poultice of lavender mixed with dried hay. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, green yet somehow powdery. The scent has an almost creamy texture to it, less sharp than you'd expect from an herb.
