Floral

Hyacinth smells like springtime crystallised into a single moment—imagine walking through a garden where sweet, almost peppery florals bloom with an almost grape-like juiciness. There's a subtle woody-green undertone, like crushed stems and fresh spring air. It's intensely perfumed without being heavy, with a slightly powdery quality that feels both airy and sensual. Think of the scent you'd catch leaning into a bunch of tightly clustered flowers at the market, but with an elegant restraint that lingers gracefully rather than overwhelming your senses.

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.
