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.

Oriental

Omani frankincense smells like walking into an ancient temple at dawn. Imagine warm, slightly peppery resin with a honeyed undertone—reminiscent of burnt amber mixed with subtle lemon zest and a whisper of smoke. There's an almost medicinal clarity to it, like inhaling the steam from spiced tea, yet it remains deeply sensual and creamy. It's both austere and comforting, with a dry, woody quality that feels both mysterious and somehow familiar, as if you've encountered it in incense smoke drifting through a sacred space.
