Floral

Floral notes smell like walking through a garden in full bloom—but it's not one singular scent. Imagine the fresh, slightly sweet perfume of a rose just opened; the heady, almost intoxicating richness of jasmine at dusk; the delicate, powdery whisper of violet; or the honeyed warmth of tuberose. Florals range from airy and innocent to lush and sensual. Some are bright and aldehydic (like magnolia), whilst others are soft and creamy (like gardenia). Most are inherently feminine in character, though they're far more complex than they first appear.

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.
