Oriental

Frankincense smells like walking into an ancient temple during incense ceremony—warm, slightly woody, with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and old paper. There's a peppery, almost medicinal sharpness underneath, like the smell of a spice bazaar, combined with a dry, resinous warmth comparable to burning cedar wood. It's slightly creamy and balsamic, with whispers of citrus and pine. Imagine inhaling the aroma from inside a leather-bound antique book left in sunshine—that complexity and depth.

Woody

Gum rockrose smells like warm, resinous amber mixed with the dry dustiness of sun-baked earth. Imagine the scent released when you crush dried herbs between your fingers—there's a subtle sweetness beneath, almost labdanum-like, with whispers of incense and old parchment. It's both comforting and slightly austere, evoking Mediterranean hillsides where the plant clings to rocky terrain. The aroma has a honeyed undertone but stops short of being sweet; instead, it feels ancient and grounding, like inhaling the warm air near a smouldering bonfire of aromatic wood.
