Green

Carrot seed oil smells green, earthy, and surprisingly woody—nothing like eating a carrot. Imagine crushed green stems after rain, with whispers of warm spice and dry hay. There's a mineral, almost savoury quality reminiscent of beetroot leaves and fresh soil. It's herbaceous and slightly peppery, with subtle warmth underneath, like walking through a vegetable garden at dusk. The scent is grounding rather than sweet, with an unexpected sophistication that belies its humble botanical origin.

Oriental

Imagine walking into a candlelit room where incense has been burning for hours—that's your first impression. Gurjum balsam smells warm, resinous, and faintly medicinal, like a cross between cedarwood and benzoin, but earthier. There's a subtle sweetness underneath, almost vanilla-like, paired with a slightly woody, almost smoky character. It's dense and enveloping, reminiscent of old libraries or temple interiors—comforting yet slightly austere, never cloying or aggressively sweet. It clings to your skin with intimate warmth rather than announcing itself loudly.
