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.

Spicy

Nutmeg smells like warmth wrapped in spice—imagine biting into a freshly grated kernel and encountering something simultaneously sweet and peppery, with an almost woody undertone. It's not harsh or aggressive; rather, it has a creamy, slightly earthy quality, reminiscent of cloves mixed with a whisper of black pepper and dried fruit. In a fragrance, it creates a sensation of gentle heat, the kind you'd experience warming your hands around a mulled wine or freshly baked spiced cake.
