Woody

Paraguayan guaiac wood smells like a sacred temple carved from ancient timber. Imagine warm, resinous smoke curling through a darkened wooden chapel—there's a austere, almost medicinal quality beneath the richness. It's simultaneously bittersweet: like burnt leather mixed with incense, with a subtle floral undertone that prevents it from becoming too austere. The overall effect is profoundly grounding, evoking the interior of old wooden furniture that's absorbed decades of history, combined with the faint sweetness of beeswax and aged amber.

Green

Red thyme smells like walking through a sun-warmed Mediterranean herb garden on a dusty afternoon. It's green and peppery, with a subtle spiciness reminiscent of black pepper and clove, but softer—almost minty without being sharp. There's an earthy, slightly resinous quality underneath, like brushing past dried herbs that release their oils into warm air. It's herbaceous and slightly woody, with a whisper of thyme's characteristic savoury warmth, but with a red undertone suggesting deeper, more complex spice notes than common green thyme.
