Green

Lapsang Souchong tea smells like a woodsmoke-tinged campfire wrapped in dark honey and dried fruit. Imagine walking past a bonfire, then stepping into a cosy tea room where the air carries hints of ripe plum, leather, and something pleasantly bitter—like burnt caramel with a whisper of pine resin. It's smoky without being acrid, sophisticated without pretension. The scent has an almost savoury warmth, like toasted grain and dried apricot lingering on your fingertips after handling the leaves.

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.
