Woody

Guatemalan patchouli smells like rich, damp earth after rain—that deep, mineral-tinged earthiness you'd find turning over soil in an old garden. It's warmer and sweeter than typical patchouli, with hints of leather and dried tobacco leaves. There's an almost chocolatey undertone, like cocoa powder mixed with loam. It's grounding without being harsh; imagine the scent of a forest floor in autumn, wrapped in aged suede. Less "hippie incense," more "sophisticated woods and soil."

Green

Rosemary smells like standing in a sun-baked Mediterranean herb garden on a hot afternoon. It's intensely herbaceous and peppery, with a sharp, almost minty bite that clears your sinuses. There's an underlying woodiness—imagine crushing fresh sprigs between your fingers and catching that piney, slightly resinous exhale. It's green in the most literal sense: fresh, slightly bitter, and vaguely medicinal, like the smell of a high-street chemist mixed with a country kitchen.
