Woody

Cedar leaf smells like you've just brushed past a freshly pruned conifer on a crisp morning—green, slightly resinous, and unexpectedly bright. Imagine the sharp, almost minty-green aroma of crushed needles, with a whisper of camphor underneath. It's woody, yes, but livelier than the deep, warm cedarwood heart notes; think more the zingy snap of a cedar chest's interior rather than the wood itself. There's a clean, almost medicinal quality—the scent of clarity and fresh air distilled into liquid form.

Spicy

Ginger smells like a warm spice with a sharp, almost peppery bite that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine cracking open a fresh ginger root—there's an initial citrusy brightness with subtle floral undertones, followed by a dry, slightly woody heat. It's not fiery like chilli; rather, it's a refined warmth that feels both comforting and invigorating, reminiscent of freshly grated ginger in hot tea or the aromatic steam rising from spiced biscuits fresh from the oven.
