Woody

Java vetiver smells like damp earth after a summer downpour, with an almost smoky undertone—imagine standing in a rain-soaked garden where roots and rich soil dominate. It's grassy yet deeply woody, carrying hints of tobacco leaf and dried hay. There's a subtle earthiness that feels both grounding and slightly mysterious, reminiscent of walking through a humid forest where vegetation and moisture create an almost mineral-like quality. It's considerably warmer and more complex than standard vetiver.

Spicy

Nutmeg smells like warmth wrapped in spice—imagine biting into a freshly grated kernel and encountering something simultaneously sweet and peppery, with an almost woody undertone. It's not harsh or aggressive; rather, it has a creamy, slightly earthy quality, reminiscent of cloves mixed with a whisper of black pepper and dried fruit. In a fragrance, it creates a sensation of gentle heat, the kind you'd experience warming your hands around a mulled wine or freshly baked spiced cake.
