Woody

Cedarwood smells like walking into a freshly constructed wooden cabin on a crisp autumn morning. It's warm, dry, and slightly spicy—reminiscent of pencil shavings, aged timber, and a whisper of incense. There's an almost powdery quality, with subtle earthiness underneath. Unlike the bright cheerfulness of citrus, cedarwood feels contemplative and grounded, like the smell of old furniture polish mixed with the resinous warmth of a cedar chest that's held winter clothes for generations.

Smoky & Earthy

Gunpowder smells like burnt, acrid smoke with a sharp, almost metallic edge—reminiscent of a freshly fired rifle range or the charred aftermath of fireworks. There's a distinctive sulfurous, slightly bitter quality, reminiscent of spent matches or charcoal, but with an intriguing complexity. It's smoky yet chemical, aggressive yet oddly alluring—like standing near a bonfire that's been doused with something unexpected. Not unpleasant, but decidedly challenging and intensely masculine.
