Floral

Rose oxide smells like the most ethereal whisper of a fresh rose—imagine inhaling deeply over a bouquet of dewy petals just as dawn breaks. It's cleaner and more transparent than typical rose absolutes; rather than the heavy, intoxicating richness you'd expect, it's delicate and almost green-tinged, with a subtle spicy warmth underneath. There's an airy, powdery quality reminiscent of rose water, yet somehow more refined and slightly peppery, as if someone's dusted the petals with the finest black pepper.

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.
