Woody

Cypriol smells like walking into an ancient cedar-lined cabinet where someone's stored exotic treasures for decades. It's warmly earthy and deeply woody—imagine damp soil after rain mixed with the musty sweetness of old sandalwood shavings and a whisper of incense smoke. There's a subtle spiciness underneath, almost peppery, with a creamy, slightly animalic undertone that feels vaguely smoky and medicinal. It's grounding without being harsh, more sophisticated than straightforward wood.

Oriental

Imagine walking into a candlelit room where incense has been burning for hours—that's your first impression. Gurjum balsam smells warm, resinous, and faintly medicinal, like a cross between cedarwood and benzoin, but earthier. There's a subtle sweetness underneath, almost vanilla-like, paired with a slightly woody, almost smoky character. It's dense and enveloping, reminiscent of old libraries or temple interiors—comforting yet slightly austere, never cloying or aggressively sweet. It clings to your skin with intimate warmth rather than announcing itself loudly.
