Fresh

Ice accord doesn't smell like anything naturally found in nature—it's the olfactory equivalent of sensation rather than scent. Imagine the sharp, almost metallic coolness you feel when breathing in through your nose on a crisp winter morning, or that tingling freshness of menthol without the sweetness. It evokes the clean, crystalline quality of frost-covered air, with a slightly aldehydic sparkle reminiscent of ozone after a lightning strike. There's an almost numbing freshness, like biting into ice itself—sharp, bright, and intensely cooling without any discernible "smell" in the traditional sense.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
