Woody

Haitian vetiver Orpur® smells like you've just walked into a sun-warmed earth cellar after rain. There's a dry, almost smoky grassiness—imagine dried wheat stalks and root vegetables—layered with subtle earthiness and a whisper of smoke. Unlike sweeter vetivers, this one has a mineral, almost peppery quality with faint hints of leather and damp soil. It's grounding and slightly austere, the olfactory equivalent of touching cool stone.

Oriental

Somalian frankincense Orpur® smells like walking into an ancient temple at dawn. Imagine warm, slightly resinous smoke tinged with subtle lemon zest and a whisper of pine—but softer, almost creamy. There's an incense-like quality that feels both sacred and intimate, with a honeyed undertone that prevents it from becoming too austere. It's woody without being harsh, spiced without being sharp. Rather like standing near sandalwood that's been gently warmed by sunlight, with a faint medicinal clarity lingering beneath.
