Citrus

Red currant smells like biting into a jewel of summer fruit—tart, slightly jammy, with a delicate floral whisper underneath. Imagine the bright-green snap of a freshly picked berry between your teeth, paired with a subtle powdery sweetness and hint of rose. It's not aggressively citric like lemon; instead, it carries an almost winey sophistication, reminiscent of cassis but far more refined and herbaceous. There's an ethereal, almost translucent quality—like holding the fruit up to sunlight.

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.
