Smoky & Earthy

Black leather smells like a freshly opened leather jacket—rich, slightly animalic, with a subtle smokiness that's almost burnt. Imagine the warm hide of a saddle mixed with tobacco smoke, a whisper of petrol, and something almost like burnt rubber. It's not the clean, tannery-fresh leather of new shoes; it's aged, worn leather that's been exposed to heat and time. There's a dark, slightly harsh quality—reminiscent of charred wood or a leather workshop on a smoky autumn evening—that makes it feel dangerous and luxurious simultaneously.

Green

Clary sage smells like walking through a sun-warmed herb garden after rain. Imagine crushed sage leaves—herbal and slightly peppery—but softer, more refined than common culinary sage. There's an unmistakable earthiness underneath, with whispers of something almost floral and slightly medicinal, like a heated poultice of lavender mixed with dried hay. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, green yet somehow powdery. The scent has an almost creamy texture to it, less sharp than you'd expect from an herb.
