Floral

Cyclamen smells like a delicate, slightly peppery floral with an almost metallic, mineral whisper beneath. Imagine fresh petals crushed between your palms—there's a green, slightly bitter undertone reminiscent of crushed stems and leaves. It's softer than a rose, more ethereal than a peony, with a subtle spiciness that catches you by surprise, like discovering pepper hidden amongst a bouquet of spring flowers. There's also an indefinable freshness, almost ozonic, that keeps it from feeling too sweet or heavy.

Woody

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
