Gourmand

Rice note smells like the warm, slightly sweet aroma of freshly cooked rice or rice flour—think of that comforting, faintly creamy scent that rises from a bowl of steaming jasmine rice. It's subtly powdery, almost milky, with whispers of grain and a gentle nuttiness reminiscent of toasted rice cereal. There's nothing sharp or pungent; instead, it wraps around you like a soft blanket, reminiscent of vanilla's gentler cousin but distinctly its own thing—simple, innocent, and deeply soothing.

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.
