Cypress smells like walking through a Mediterranean forest on a crisp autumn morning. It's dry and slightly resinous, reminiscent of pencil shavings and cedarwood, but with a distinctly herbaceous, almost minty freshness that catches the back of your nose. There's an underlying earthiness—the smell of weathered wood and dry leaves—mixed with a subtle piney sweetness. It's not heavy or oppressive; rather, it's clean and grounding, with a whisper of incense-like smokiness that feels both ancient and somehow austere.

Vetiver smells like freshly turned earth after rainfall, mixed with dry hay and a whisper of smoke. Imagine walking through a sun-baked field where roots and soil still hold morning dew—that's the grounding, slightly dusty quality you'll encounter. There's an almost savoury, mineral-like character, with hints of cedarwood and green tea. It's simultaneously earthy and arid, never sweet, with a faint green-wood quality that feels both calming and deeply natural. Think of it as the scent of resilience and stability in olfactory form.
