Woody

Bamboo smells like a freshly split green stalk—clean, slightly sweet, and whisperingly woody. Imagine stepping into a Japanese forest after rain: that crisp, almost papery freshness mixed with subtle earthiness. There's a delicate, almost juicy quality reminiscent of fresh-cut grass and pale green vegetation, with hints of mineral coolness (like licking smooth river stones). It's remarkably understated—not heavy or perfume-y, but rather like the quiet, breathing quality of living wood.

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
