Green

White thyme smells like walking through a sun-warmed Mediterranean herb garden on a dry afternoon. It's herbaceous and slightly peppery, with a whisper of mint coolness, but softer and more delicate than common garden thyme. There's a subtle green freshness—imagine crushing tender thyme leaves between your fingers, releasing oils that smell clean and almost slightly powdery. It's less robust than red thyme, more ethereal, with hints of hay and a barely-there citrus brightness that feels airy rather than sharp.

Woody

Woody notes smell like the heart of a forest distilled into essence. Imagine the warm, dry interior of a cedar wardrobe, the earthy grip of tree bark after rain, or the comforting scent of aged timber in an old library. They're neither sweet nor sharp—rather, they're grounding and substantial, with a slightly resinous, almost creaky quality. Think of pencil shavings, sandalwood's buttery softness, or the austere dryness of vetiver. These notes smell like nature's architecture: solid, enduring, and deeply familiar.
