Cade juniper is utterly austere and smoky—imagine standing in a pine forest after a controlled burn, where charred wood mingles with resinous evergreen branches. There's a burnt, almost medicinal quality that feels neither fresh nor sweet, but rather deeply earthy and tarry. It smells like aged leather that's been exposed to campfire smoke, with an underlying mineral dryness. Not a note you'd want on skin alone, but darkly compelling in small doses—like the smell of a woodsman's workbench.

Vetiver smells like freshly turned earth after rainfall, mixed with dry hay and a whisper of smoke. Imagine walking through a sun-baked field where roots and soil still hold morning dew—that's the grounding, slightly dusty quality you'll encounter. There's an almost savoury, mineral-like character, with hints of cedarwood and green tea. It's simultaneously earthy and arid, never sweet, with a faint green-wood quality that feels both calming and deeply natural. Think of it as the scent of resilience and stability in olfactory form.
