Woody

Musky notes smell like clean skin warmed by the sun—intimate and softly animalic without being harsh. Imagine the faint scent of your own neck after a few hours outdoors, or expensive cashmere that's been gently worn. There's a powdery, almost soapy quality paired with subtle earthiness, like dried skin musk or the inside of a luxury leather glove. It's sensual yet comforting, never overpowering—more a whisper than a shout, wrapping around you like a second skin.

Floral

Rose smells like romance bottled. Imagine walking through a garden after rain—that's the green, slightly damp quality. Then there's the sweetness: honeyed, sometimes with a whisper of spice and subtle fruit notes. Depending on the variety, you might detect hints of honey, jam, or even a peppery warmth. It's never cloying if it's genuine; there's an elegant complexity, a velvety depth that makes you want to inhale again.
