Green

Imagine crushing fresh green leaves between your palms on a damp morning—that's the essence of a leaves note. It smells green, yes, but not floral or fruity. Think of the sharp, almost peppery bite of tomato leaves, the cool refreshness of mint without the sweetness, or wet grass clippings after rain. There's a slightly bitter, herbaceous quality that feels natural and earthy, with a whisper of vegetal freshness that makes your nose tingle pleasantly.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
