Woody

Dark woods conjure the interior of an ancient forest after rain—think the deep, earthy scent you encounter walking through aged timber buildings or standing inside a grand library lined with mahogany. It's smoky and slightly resinous, with an undertone of damp soil and weathered leather. There's a mineral quality, almost like running your hand along wet bark. Unlike bright citrus woods, this note feels heavy, enveloping, and decidedly masculine. It wraps around you like wearing a wool overcoat in autumn.

Smoky & Earthy

Leather smells like the interior of a well-worn saddle or vintage handbag—earthy, slightly animalic, with warm tobacco and wood undertones. There's an almost smoky, bittersweet quality, reminiscent of old books and aged suede. It's dry yet vaguely creamy, conjuring images of smoke-filled gentlemen's clubs and polished riding boots. Unlike the raw smell of fresh hide, fragrance leather is refined, sophisticated, and mysteriously animalic without being offensive.
