Indian patchouli smells earthy and intensely aromatic—imagine pressing your nose into rich, dark soil after rainfall, mixed with dried autumn leaves and a whisper of sweetness. There's an almost medicinal warmth to it, reminiscent of vetiver root or the underside of a forest floor. Some find it slightly musty, others detect hints of chocolate and spice buried beneath. It's grounding, deeply tactile, and unmistakably bohemian—the scent of incense smoke clinging to vintage textiles.

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.
