Green

Cabbage in fragrance is deceptively subtle—it's not the boiled, sulphurous smell of overcooked vegetables. Instead, it captures the crisp, almost peppery greenness of a fresh head being sliced open: slightly bitter, herbaceous, with hints of grass clippings and wet garden soil after rain. There's an earthy, mineral quality underneath, reminiscent of crushed green tomato stems or fresh rocket leaves. It's genuinely verdant and alive, rather than vegetable-like.

Woody

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
