Floral

Hibiscus is a tart, slightly fruity floral with a papery, almost tea-like quality—imagine the dried petals of the flower themselves, with subtle notes of cranberry and sour cherry. It's not sweetly perfumed like a rose; instead, it carries a crisp, slightly astringent character reminiscent of hibiscus tea, with delicate herbal undertones and a whisper of tropical fruit. The scent sits somewhere between fresh and slightly dusty, with a subtle woody dryness that prevents it from being cloying.

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.
