Liquidambar smells like walking through an ancient forest after rain—earthy, slightly sweet, with a warm, resinous undertone reminiscent of incense or aged wood. Imagine the scent of tree bark, dried leaves, and a whisper of vanilla-tinged amber, with a subtle spiciness that evokes clove or cinnamon. It's grounding and slightly medicinal, like opening a wooden cabinet filled with old books and dried botanicals. Not sharp or austere, but rather soft, enveloping, and deeply comforting.

Vetiver smells like freshly turned earth after rainfall, mixed with dry hay and a whisper of smoke. Imagine walking through a sun-baked field where roots and soil still hold morning dew—that's the grounding, slightly dusty quality you'll encounter. There's an almost savoury, mineral-like character, with hints of cedarwood and green tea. It's simultaneously earthy and arid, never sweet, with a faint green-wood quality that feels both calming and deeply natural. Think of it as the scent of resilience and stability in olfactory form.
