Woody

Akigalawood smells like sun-warmed driftwood meets creamy sandalwood, with whispers of dry hay and aged paper. Imagine walking through a cedar-lined cabin on a hot afternoon—there's that resinous, almost dusty warmth, but softer and more ethereal than typical woody notes. It has a subtle sweetness underneath, like vanilla-tinged wood smoke that's been gently diffused through time. The overall effect is simultaneously woody and powdery, never harsh, with an understated elegance reminiscent of worn leather that's been left in the sun.

Haitian vetiver Orpur® smells like you've just walked into a sun-warmed earth cellar after rain. There's a dry, almost smoky grassiness—imagine dried wheat stalks and root vegetables—layered with subtle earthiness and a whisper of smoke. Unlike sweeter vetivers, this one has a mineral, almost peppery quality with faint hints of leather and damp soil. It's grounding and slightly austere, the olfactory equivalent of touching cool stone.
