Green

Laurel smells like walking through a Mediterranean herb garden on a sun-warmed afternoon. It's crisp and slightly peppery, with an almost minty freshness, but softer and more refined than mint—think of crushing fresh bay leaves between your fingers and catching that sharp, green vapour. There's an underlying warmth, almost spicy, reminiscent of clove or nutmeg, paired with a clean, herbaceous earthiness that feels simultaneously bright and grounding. It's the scent of sophistication in a leaf.

Woody

Vetiver smells like freshly turned earth after rainfall, mixed with dry hay and a whisper of smoke. Imagine walking through a sun-baked field where roots and soil still hold morning dew—that's the grounding, slightly dusty quality you'll encounter. There's an almost savoury, mineral-like character, with hints of cedarwood and green tea. It's simultaneously earthy and arid, never sweet, with a faint green-wood quality that feels both calming and deeply natural. Think of it as the scent of resilience and stability in olfactory form.
