Woody

Ceylonese sandalwood smells like warm, creamy butter melting into soft wood shavings—imagine walking into a carpentry workshop on a humid afternoon. There's a subtle sweetness, almost milky, paired with a smooth, velvety texture that feels almost tactile on your nose. Unlike harsher woods, it's gentle and powdery, with whispers of vanilla and coconut lingering beneath. It's comforting without being cloying—the scent equivalent of cashmere against skin.

Floral

Neroli smells like a luminous, almost intoxicating burst of fresh orange blossom—imagine pressing your face into a fragrant white flower on a Mediterranean spring morning. It's honeyed and delicate, yet surprisingly bright and slightly bitter, with a creamy, almost soapy undertone. There's a green, slightly peppery edge that prevents it from being purely sweet. It's the scent of a sun-warmed Seville orange grove in full bloom, honeyed yet crisp, floral yet citrusy.
