Citrus

Blood orange smells like a more dramatic, sensual cousin of regular orange. Imagine biting into a juicy orange, but with deeper, almost berry-like undertones—there's a subtle tartness mixed with honeyed sweetness. It carries a faint floral whisper, almost like crushed rose petals dusted with citrus zest. The colour suggests darkness and richness; the scent delivers exactly that. It's less cheerful than bright citrus, more mysterious and bittersweet—like candied citrus peel kissed with dark chocolate.

Woody

Dark woods conjure the interior of an ancient forest after rain—think the deep, earthy scent you encounter walking through aged timber buildings or standing inside a grand library lined with mahogany. It's smoky and slightly resinous, with an undertone of damp soil and weathered leather. There's a mineral quality, almost like running your hand along wet bark. Unlike bright citrus woods, this note feels heavy, enveloping, and decidedly masculine. It wraps around you like wearing a wool overcoat in autumn.
