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

Oak smells like walking into a whisky distillery or an old library—think warm, dry wood with subtle sweetness and a faint vanilla undertone. It's the scent of aged wooden furniture, barrel-aged spirits, and weathered timber that's been warmed by sunlight. There's an almost leathery quality, sometimes slightly smoky, reminiscent of cedarwood but deeper and more sophisticated. It's comforting rather than fresh, with a gentle earthiness that feels established and enduring.
