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.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
