Clary sage smells like walking through a sun-warmed herb garden after rain. Imagine crushed sage leaves—herbal and slightly peppery—but softer, more refined than common culinary sage. There's an unmistakable earthiness underneath, with whispers of something almost floral and slightly medicinal, like a heated poultice of lavender mixed with dried hay. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, green yet somehow powdery. The scent has an almost creamy texture to it, less sharp than you'd expect from an herb.

Sagebrush smells like standing in a high desert at dusk—dusty, herbaceous, slightly peppery with an almost medicinal bite. Imagine crushing dried sage leaves between your fingers, then add a whisper of dry earth, petrichor, and something slightly bitter and woody. It's greenish-grey rather than bright green, with a faint camphoraceous quality that catches in the back of your throat pleasantly. Think of sagebrush as the scent equivalent of worn denim—familiar, slightly austere, unexpectedly comforting.
