Floral

Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.

Woody

Indonesian patchouli Orpur® smells like damp forest soil after rain, mixed with something earthy and slightly sweet—imagine standing in a greenhouse with potted plants, then add a whisper of chocolate and dried tobacco leaf. There's a dark, grounding quality that feels almost velvety on the nose, with subtle spice notes reminiscent of clove or cinnamon. It's not perfume-y or floral; it's genuinely gritty and real, like holding a handful of rich garden earth that's been warmed by the sun.
