Citrus

Red mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed fruit on a Mediterranean afternoon—sweet, juicy, and radiating warmth rather than the sharp bite of lemon. It's softer and rounder than regular orange, with honeyed undertones and a creamy floral whisper beneath the zesty top note. There's an almost powdery quality, like the dusty bloom on freshly picked fruit, mixed with subtle woody undertones that prevent it from being purely sugary. It feels nostalgic—like marmalade, candied peel, and childhood sweets.

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.
