Citrus

Grapefruit smells like biting into a freshly halved citrus fruit—sharp, juicy, and slightly bitter. Imagine the zesty spray that hits your face when you peel one, mixed with a subtle floral undertone and a touch of mineral freshness. It's brighter and more assertive than lemon, with a woody dryness lurking beneath the initial burst. There's an almost soapy, clean quality that makes it feel modern and energising rather than purely fruity.

Woody

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
