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

Rotting flower smells like the dark, almost intoxicating decay of petals left in stagnant water—think wilted roses forgotten in a vase for weeks. It's simultaneously sweet and putrid, with an animalic, slightly fungal undertone reminiscent of damp earth and decomposing vegetation. There's a smoky, ashy quality layered beneath, like burnt plant matter mixed with the mustiness of an old greenhouse. It's profoundly unsettling yet strangely compelling—beauty in its final, melancholic transformation.
