Fresh

Powdery notes smell like the soft, clean embrace of talcum powder or iris root—a delicate, slightly dusty floral with an almost velvety texture on the nose. Imagine the faint sweetness of pressed flowers mixed with the gentle creaminess of cosmetic powder, with whispers of almond and vanilla. There's an airy, lightweight quality, almost like inhaling the scent of freshly laundered linen dusted with subtle florals. It's comforting and intimate rather than bold—the olfactory equivalent of soft cashmere against skin.

Woody

Rosewood smells like walking through a freshly sanded furniture workshop—warm, creamy, and gently sweet, but distinctly wooden rather than floral. Imagine the aroma of a pencil shaving mixed with subtle cinnamon warmth and a whisper of something almost creamy, like sandalwood's mellower cousin. It's soft and approachable, lacking harshness; rather like inhaling the scent of polished mahogany with a touch of honeyed spice underneath. There's an inherent smoothness that feels both elegant and grounding.
