Oriental

Balsamic notes smell like a warm, resinous embrace—imagine the sweet, slightly medicinal scent of a cough lozenge mingled with honey and old wood. There's a thick, syrupy richness reminiscent of amber and vanilla, but with an almost incense-like quality, as though someone's lit a stick of amber in a library of aged leather-bound books. It's comforting yet complex, with subtle hints of spice and a faintly smoky undertone. The overall effect is creamy, enveloping, and deeply sensual.

Woody

Resins smell like the amber-golden aftermath of a forest fire—warm, slightly sticky, deeply comforting. Imagine inhaling the scent of a church's incense, but earthier: there's honeyed sweetness mixed with subtle bitterness, a whiff of burnt wood and smoky vanilla. It's like pressing your nose against aged leather that's been warmed in sunlight, with an almost medicinal undertone. The aroma clings to your skin and clothes, leaving a lingering, almost resinous residue in the air.
