Fresh

Ice accord doesn't smell like anything naturally found in nature—it's the olfactory equivalent of sensation rather than scent. Imagine the sharp, almost metallic coolness you feel when breathing in through your nose on a crisp winter morning, or that tingling freshness of menthol without the sweetness. It evokes the clean, crystalline quality of frost-covered air, with a slightly aldehydic sparkle reminiscent of ozone after a lightning strike. There's an almost numbing freshness, like biting into ice itself—sharp, bright, and intensely cooling without any discernible "smell" in the traditional sense.

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.
