Floral

Lavender smells like a sun-warmed herb garden on a Provençal hillside—fresh, slightly sweet, with a delicate pepperiness underneath. It's clean without being soapy, herbaceous without being medicinal, and carries whispers of honey and hay. Imagine crushing fresh lavender stems between your fingers: there's that bright, green sharpness, but also a soft, almost powdery warmth that lingers. It's utterly calming yet somehow sophisticated, neither heavy nor fleeting.

Woody

Vetiveryl acetate smells like vetiver's sophisticated cousin—earthier and smoother than raw vetiver root, with less of that dry, dusty character. Imagine the warm, slightly sweet scent of freshly turned garden soil after rain, blended with subtle hints of hay and dried grass. There's a creamy, almost buttery undertone that feels refined rather than rustic. It's grounding without being heavy, woody without the sharp resinous bite you'd get from cedarwood. Think of walking through a botanical garden at dusk.
