Woody

Ambrette seed smells like warm, honeyed musk with a distinctly woody-amber undertone—imagine the scent of toasted almond skin mixed with dry, sun-warmed driftwood and a whisper of something animalic and sensual. There's an almost creamy sweetness to it, reminiscent of warm honey drizzled over cedarwood, with subtle spiced notes that recall clove or cardamom lingering in the background. It's simultaneously edible and earthy, neither purely floral nor purely wood—occupying a fascinating middle ground that feels both comforting and mysteriously sophisticated.

Floral

Hawthorn smells like spring itself captured in a bottle—imagine walking through a hedgerow bursting with delicate white blossoms, mixed with fresh green leaves and the crisp, slightly sweet air after rain. There's an almost creamy, honeyed quality beneath the floral brightness, reminiscent of meadow flowers and fresh-cut grass. It's gentle and airy, never heavy or perfume-y, with subtle fruity undertones that whisper of apple and pear. The overall effect is quietly intoxicating: innocent yet strangely sensual.
