Woody

Gaiac wood smells like the interior of a old wooden chest that's been storing precious things for decades—dry, slightly smoky, with an almost medicinal warmth. There's a peculiar sweetness beneath, reminiscent of burnt sugar or caramelised honey, but grounded in something earthy and austere. Imagine standing in a timber-built sauna after the coals have cooled, mixed with the scent of a smouldering cigar stub. It's woody without being fresh; instead, it feels ancient, weathered, and deeply masculine.

Smoky & Earthy

Leather smells like the interior of a well-worn saddle or vintage handbag—earthy, slightly animalic, with warm tobacco and wood undertones. There's an almost smoky, bittersweet quality, reminiscent of old books and aged suede. It's dry yet vaguely creamy, conjuring images of smoke-filled gentlemen's clubs and polished riding boots. Unlike the raw smell of fresh hide, fragrance leather is refined, sophisticated, and mysteriously animalic without being offensive.
