Green

Fern smells like stepping into a cool, shaded forest after rain—green, slightly damp, and intensely herbaceous. Imagine crushing fresh fern fronds between your fingers: there's a mineral, almost cucumber-like freshness mixed with earthy soil undertones. It's crisp and slightly peppery, without the sweetness of flowers. The scent is clean but complex, reminiscent of wet moss, green stems, and that peculiar smell of plants thriving in shadowy, humid places where sunlight barely penetrates.

Woody

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
