Smoky & Earthy

"Rot" smells like the warm, earthy decomposition you'd encounter in a forest floor after rainfall—think damp wood, mushrooms, and that peculiar mustiness of old leaves breaking down. It's not unpleasant; rather, it evokes the rich, slightly sweet funk of aged soil and organic matter in slow transformation. Imagine pressing your nose into a rotting log covered in moss, or the smell inside an ancient wooden barn where hay has fermented for years. There's a leathery, almost animalic quality beneath the earthiness—faintly smoky, deeply grounded, with hints of tobacco leaf and dried peat.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
