Aquatic

Algae smells like the ocean's green heart—imagine standing on a rocky shore where seaweed clings to stone, still damp from the tide. There's a briny, slightly salty minerality undercut with something almost metallic and green, reminiscent of wet seagrass, crushed kelp, and the peculiar freshness of a coastal cave. It's not unpleasant, but distinctly aquatic and unfamiliar; rather like breathing in the essence of marine life itself—clean, primal, and vaguely ammoniac without being harsh.

Woody

Elemi resin smells like a luminous, slightly citrusy woodiness with an almost lemony-piney freshness. Imagine standing in a sun-dappled forest where someone's just peeled a lemon, then inhale warm, slightly resinous wood smoke. There's a gentle spiciness underneath—not sharp, but rounded—with an almost incense-like quality. It's crisp yet creamy, never harsh, with an airy, almost ethereal quality that floats rather than settles.
