Woody

Amber smells like warmth itself has been bottled. Imagine sun-baked resin, honey left out on a hot day, and the comforting scent of your skin after lying on a warm blanket. There's sweetness here—almost vanilla-like—but deeper, earthier, with hints of powdered spices and the faint smokiness of incense. It's simultaneously creamy and slightly bitter, like caramelised sugar with a woody undertone. It wraps around you like cashmere, never sharp or jarring.

Spicy

Indian cardamom smells like stepping into a spice bazaar on a warm afternoon. It's peppery and slightly sweet, with cooling menthol undertones that make your nose tingle pleasantly—imagine biting into a cardamom pod and getting that sharp, almost camphoraceous burst, followed by creamy warmth. There's an almost medicinal clarity to it, yet it feels comforting rather than clinical. It's both spicy and slightly bitter, with whispers of citrus and green tea hiding beneath the surface.
