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

Vetiver smells like freshly turned earth after rainfall, mixed with dry hay and a whisper of smoke. Imagine walking through a sun-baked field where roots and soil still hold morning dew—that's the grounding, slightly dusty quality you'll encounter. There's an almost savoury, mineral-like character, with hints of cedarwood and green tea. It's simultaneously earthy and arid, never sweet, with a faint green-wood quality that feels both calming and deeply natural. Think of it as the scent of resilience and stability in olfactory form.
