Gourmand

Dark chocolate smells like bittersweet indulgence—imagine breaking open a bar of 70% cacao and inhaling deeply. You get earthy cocoa powder, rich and slightly astringent, with subtle notes of roasted nuts and a whisper of smokiness. There's an almost creamy undertone beneath the intensity, reminiscent of melted chocolate cooling on your tongue. It's warm, comforting, and genuinely mouth-watering, without being sickeningly sweet. The scent wraps around you like a cashmere blanket on a cold evening.

Woody

Woody notes smell like the heart of a forest distilled into liquid form. Imagine walking through an ancient woodland after rain—that deep, earthy richness underfoot, mixed with the slightly resinous warmth of tree bark and aged timber. There's a dryness to it, reminiscent of pencil shavings or cedar chests, yet simultaneously warm and comforting, like sitting by a fireplace in a cabin. Not sharp or medicinal, but grounding and structural—the olfactory equivalent of solid wood supporting a building.
