Woody

Elemi resin smells like a luminous, slightly citrusy woodiness with an almost lemony-piney freshness. Imagine standing in a sun-dappled forest where someone's just peeled a lemon, then inhale warm, slightly resinous wood smoke. There's a gentle spiciness underneath—not sharp, but rounded—with an almost incense-like quality. It's crisp yet creamy, never harsh, with an airy, almost ethereal quality that floats rather than settles.

Spicy

Ginger CO2 smells intensely like freshly grated ginger root—sharp, peppery, and almost prickling on the nose. Imagine biting into a piece of candied ginger, then amplify that warmth and spice tenfold. It's simultaneously green and hot, with a subtle sweetness beneath the bite, reminiscent of the inside of the rhizome itself. There's a slight citrusy brightness that prevents it from being purely peppery, and an almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from dried ginger powder, which would smell dusty and one-dimensional.
