Gourmand

Bran absolute smells like freshly opened cereal boxes and warm, toasted grain—think of the aroma that rises when you crack into a box of bran flakes or bite into wholesome brown bread. It carries an earthy, slightly nutty warmth with subtle sweetness, like the smell of a mill or grain store on a sunny day. There's a comforting, almost powdery dryness beneath it, reminiscent of wheat husks and malt. It's decidedly edible and cosy, never cloying—the scent equivalent of comfort food.

Woody

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.
