Woody

Ambrette smells like warm, slightly sweet timber with a subtle musks-like softness—imagine the dry wood of a cedar chest mingled with the faintest whisper of animal warmth and skin. It's neither aggressively woody nor perfume-counter musky; instead, it's gently creamy and intimate, with a hint of spice lurking beneath. Think of inhaling the scent of aged sandalwood that's been sitting next to a bowl of vanilla beans. It's comforting, almost skin-like in its adhesiveness.

Green

Carrot seed oil smells green, earthy, and surprisingly woody—nothing like eating a carrot. Imagine crushed green stems after rain, with whispers of warm spice and dry hay. There's a mineral, almost savoury quality reminiscent of beetroot leaves and fresh soil. It's herbaceous and slightly peppery, with subtle warmth underneath, like walking through a vegetable garden at dusk. The scent is grounding rather than sweet, with an unexpected sophistication that belies its humble botanical origin.
