Woody

Cedarwood smells like walking into a freshly constructed wooden cabin on a crisp autumn morning. It's warm, dry, and slightly spicy—reminiscent of pencil shavings, aged timber, and a whisper of incense. There's an almost powdery quality, with subtle earthiness underneath. Unlike the bright cheerfulness of citrus, cedarwood feels contemplative and grounded, like the smell of old furniture polish mixed with the resinous warmth of a cedar chest that's held winter clothes for generations.

Citrus

Lemon is the zesty, almost sharp brightness you experience when you peel a fresh lemon in morning sunlight. Imagine that precise moment when oils burst from the skin—intensely citrusy yet slightly bitter, with an underlying sweetness that catches you off-guard. It's clean and piercing, like biting into the fruit itself, with a crisp acidity that makes your mouth anticipate tartness. There's a subtle green, almost herbal undertone beneath the fruity top note, reminiscent of the plant's leaves and stems.
