Citrus

Pear smells like biting into a ripe fruit on a sun-warmed afternoon—juicy, green, and gently sweet without cloying. It's lighter and more delicate than citrus, with a crisp, slightly floral character that sits somewhere between fresh apple and honeyed stone fruit. There's a subtle green leaf quality, almost like the stem and skin of the fruit. It feels clean and innocent, perhaps reminiscent of pear juice or those waxy pear sweets from childhood, but far more sophisticated and refined when isolated as a fragrance ingredient.

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.
