Floral

Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.

Woody

Nirvanolide® smells like the warm, creamy heart of sandalwood, but cleaner and more refined. Imagine the soft, almost powdery richness of aged cedarwood blended with a subtle creaminess—like sanding sandalwood with butter rather than oil. It carries a gentle sweetness reminiscent of vanilla-tinged amber, yet remains distinctly woody rather than gourmand. There's a skin-like warmth to it, as though it's been warmed by sunlight on smooth timber.
