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.

Green

Oakmoss smells like standing in an ancient forest after rain—earthy, slightly bitter, with a dry, woody undertone reminiscent of damp bark and lichen-covered stones. There's a faint greenness to it, almost herbaceous, mixed with something mineral and slightly musty, like opening a wooden chest that's been sealed for years. It's not fresh or sharp; rather, it's contemplative and deeply grounded, with whispers of leather and tea leaves underneath.
