Woody

Laotian oud smells like the heart of an ancient forest after rain—deeply resinous and woody, with an animalic warmth that's almost leathery. Imagine dark, aged wood infused with medicinal earth and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey or tobacco. It's woody, yes, but with a creamy, almost unctuous quality that clings to your skin. There's a faint funkiness too—organic and earthy—like opening a drawer of aged cedarwood that's been storing precious textiles for decades. Not floral or fresh; this is raw, mature, and profoundly grounding.

Nagarmotha smells like walking through an ancient temple after incense has burned down to ash—earthy, warm, and deeply grounding. Imagine wet soil after monsoon rain mixed with subtle spice and a whisper of something resinous. There's a faint sweetness underneath, almost like dried grass warmed by sun. It's not floral or fresh; it's the smell of deep earth, aged wood, and quiet meditation. Slightly bitter, never sharp—more like the scent clinging to your hands after handling sandalwood beads.
