Citrus

Citrus is the smell of optimism captured in a bottle. Imagine biting into a fresh orange—that initial burst of bright, juicy sweetness mixed with subtle bitterness from the peel. It's sharp and refreshing, almost prickling on your nose, yet simultaneously creamy and warm depending on the specific fruit. Lemon adds zesty tang and clean sharpness; bergamot brings floral honeyed complexity; grapefruit offers tart, slightly bitter sophistication. These notes collectively evoke sunshine, fresh air, and that uplifting moment when you squeeze citrus oil under your fingernail and smell the spray.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
