Oriental

Benzoin smells like sweetened vanilla cream kissed with caramel and a whisper of incense smoke. Imagine walking into a bakery where warm pastries have just emerged from the oven, then stepping into a Buddhist temple where resin smoulders on hot coals. It's honeyed and slightly powdery, with an almost medicinal undertone—like comforting cough sweets wrapped in silk. There's a subtle almond note too, creamy rather than sharp. It's deeply gourmand yet spiritual, simultaneously cosy and exotic.

Gourmand

Tonkin musk smells like a warm, slightly animalic embrace—imagine the interior of a soft leather jacket left in the sun, combined with the faint sweetness of warm skin and a whisper of amber resin. It's creamy and sensual without being floral, with an almost imperceptible animalic undertone that makes your skin feel like it's glowing. There's a subtle gourmand quality too: think warmed honey and powdered vanilla touching your neck. It's the scent of comfort and intimacy, slightly musky but refined—never raw or overpowering.
