Citrus

Lemon petitgrain is brighter and more refined than raw lemon zest. Imagine the sharp citrus zing of a freshly peeled lemon, but softer—almost honeyed at the edges. It has a subtle floral whisper underneath, like standing in a grove where lemon blossoms perfume the air alongside the fruit. There's a green, slightly herbaceous quality too, reminiscent of crushed leaves. It's crisp without being aggressive, with an almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from the harsher notes of bergamot or sweet orange.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
