Woody

Cachalox smells like the warm, slightly animalic heart of dark driftwood kissed by salty ocean spray. Imagine the inside of an aged wooden sailing ship—creosoted, mineral-rich, with whispers of ambroxan's amber-like creaminess. There's a subtle animalic undertone, faintly musky and sensual, without being overtly animalic. It's woody yet powdery, woody yet soft—like weathered sandalwood that's absorbed decades of sea salt and musk.

Imagine walking through damp earth after rain, then crushing dried autumn leaves in your hands. That's patchouli's essence: earthy, almost animalic, with a subtle sweetness lurking underneath. It smells vaguely like rich soil mixed with dried tobacco and a whisper of chocolate. There's a dark, slightly musty quality—think opening an antique wooden chest. It's grounding and intensely aromatic, never delicate. Fresh patchouli has peppery brightness; aged patchouli becomes deeper, warmer, almost leather-like.
