Spicy

Madagascar pepper smells like biting into a fresh peppercorn—sharp and prickling, with an almost electric tingle on the back of your nose. But it's warmer and fruitier than black pepper, with subtle floral honeyed notes underneath. Imagine cracked black pepper mixed with subtle citrus zest and a whisper of cinnamon warmth. It's peppery without being aggressive, carrying an almost fruity sweetness that makes it feel less harsh and more inviting than standard pepper.

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.
