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.

Floral

Tea rose smells like stepping into an English garden on a dewy morning—delicate, slightly honeyed, with a whisper of green leafiness beneath. It's softer than a full-blown rose, with a subtle spiced warmth and an almost papery dryness, like old rose petals pressed between book pages. There's a gentle fruitiness too, reminiscent of ripe apricot skin, combined with a faint powdery quality that feels intimate rather than heady. It's sophisticated without being perfumy.
