Spicy

Cardamom smells like opening a spice jar in an Indian kitchen—warm, slightly sweet, with a cooling menthol undertone that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: there's honeyed sweetness, a hint of citrus brightness, and an almost eucalyptus-like freshness that lingers. It's creamy and slightly woody, nothing aggressive, but distinctly aromatic and memorable. It's the scent of chai brewing, of comfort and sophistication mingling together.

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.
