Woody

Nepalese oud smells like walking into an ancient temple after incense has burned for hours—smoky, resinous, and deeply earthy. Imagine aged leather mixed with burnt wood, a touch of animalic musk, and something almost medicinal, like camphor or aged tobacco. It's warm and slightly bitter, with an underlying sweetness reminiscent of honey or molasses. The scent has a velvety thickness to it, coating your senses like smoke clinging to fabric. It's simultaneously comforting and slightly imposing—definitely not a fresh, cheerful smell.

Woody notes smell like the heart of a forest distilled into essence. Imagine the warm, dry interior of a cedar wardrobe, the earthy grip of tree bark after rain, or the comforting scent of aged timber in an old library. They're neither sweet nor sharp—rather, they're grounding and substantial, with a slightly resinous, almost creaky quality. Think of pencil shavings, sandalwood's buttery softness, or the austere dryness of vetiver. These notes smell like nature's architecture: solid, enduring, and deeply familiar.
