Smoky & Earthy

Animalic notes smell like warm, musky skin after exertion—the scent of leather worn close to the body, mingled with fur and something deeply primal. Imagine the inside of a suede jacket that's absorbed years of human warmth, combined with the earthy, slightly salty smell of animal hides being tanned. There's an unsettling sensuality here: intimate, almost illicit, with a whisper of sweat and animal magnetism that feels both repellent and oddly compelling. It's not unpleasant—rather, it's deeply human and utterly indiscreet.

Labdanum smells like walking into an ancient library where leather-bound books meet honeyed amber. It's warm, slightly resinous, and vaguely medicinal—imagine dried apricots dusted with incense, with a subtle leather undertone and a hint of barnyard earthiness. There's a sticky, almost tar-like quality that feels both precious and primal. It's the scent of luxurious comfort with an unexpected roughness, rather like wrapping yourself in a worn cashmere blanket that smells faintly of honey and smoke.
