Citrus

Italian mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed fruit on a Mediterranean hillside. It's sweeter and softer than sharp lemon, with honeyed warmth rather than bright acidity. Imagine the juicy, tender flesh releasing its oils—less bitter pith, more creamy-sweet pulp. There's an almost powdery, slightly fuzzy quality, like the bloom on the fruit's skin. It's optimistic and intimate at once: nostalgic of childhood oranges, yet sophisticated enough for an evening fragrance.

Woody

White amber smells like warmth without heaviness—imagine sunlight absorbed by pale wood, then gently exhaled. It's softer than traditional amber, with creamy, almost powdery qualities reminiscent of vanilla-tinged musk or the inside of a cashmere jumper. There's a subtle sweetness, like honey dissolved into silk, paired with delicate woody undertones. It evokes the smell of expensive skin cream or the lingering warmth of a loved one's embrace. Think less "dark resin" and more "luminous, weightless comfort."
