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

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.
