Gourmand

Rose liqueur smells like the sweetest, most indulgent interpretation of a rose—imagine crushing velvety rose petals into honeyed wine or liqueur, then adding layers of confectioner's sugar, dried fruits, and subtle spice. It's far removed from a fresh garden rose; instead, it evokes the scent of rose jam, crystallised petals, and boozy warmth. There's an almost creamy floral richness with hints of caramel and almond, as though someone steeped roses in honey and brandy for months.

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.
