Woody

Indonesian patchouli smells like damp earth after rain mixed with old leather and burnt wood. Imagine walking through a tropical forest floor where decomposing leaves release a rich, almost earthy sweetness—not unpleasant, but deeply grounded. There's a subtle spice beneath it, reminiscent of cloves or cinnamon, with hints of dark chocolate and tobacco leaf. It's heavy, sensual, and slightly animalic; the smell of something authentic and weathered rather than refined.

Smoky & Earthy

"Rot" smells like the warm, earthy decomposition you'd encounter in a forest floor after rainfall—think damp wood, mushrooms, and that peculiar mustiness of old leaves breaking down. It's not unpleasant; rather, it evokes the rich, slightly sweet funk of aged soil and organic matter in slow transformation. Imagine pressing your nose into a rotting log covered in moss, or the smell inside an ancient wooden barn where hay has fermented for years. There's a leathery, almost animalic quality beneath the earthiness—faintly smoky, deeply grounded, with hints of tobacco leaf and dried peat.
