Gourmand

Beeswax absolute smells like honeyed warmth wrapped in softness—imagine the sweet, creamy interior of a honeycomb, with subtle notes of amber and talc-like powder. It's waxy and buttery, slightly resinous, with an almost skin-like warmth that feels intimate rather than intensely sweet. Think of walking into a candle shop where beeswax candles gently perfume the air, or pressing your nose against warm honey that's been left in the sun. It's gourmand without being cloying; rather, it's a comforting, almost narcotic sweetness with an earthy, slightly floral undertone.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
