Citrus

Orange absolute smells nothing like the bright, sharp bite of fresh orange juice. Instead, imagine biting into an overripe orange left in the sun—deeply sweet, almost candied, with a velvety richness reminiscent of marmalade or candied peel. There's an underlying animalic warmth, almost creamy, like orange blossom honey mixed with worn leather. It's honeyed rather than citrusy in the traditional sense, with subtle woody undertones that feel almost narcotic.

Smoky & Earthy

Tobacco smells like a warm, slightly sweet haze—imagine walking past a cigar lounge on a cool evening. It's earthy and rich, with subtle leather undertones and a hint of dried hay. There's an almost vanilla-like sweetness beneath the initial smoky harshness, reminiscent of opening a tin of premium pipe tobacco or the interior of a well-aged leather armchair. It's neither acrid nor unpleasant; rather, it's a sophisticated, slightly intoxicating warmth that lingers on your skin like memory.
