Floral

Mimosa absolute smells like spring sunshine captured in a bottle—honeyed and slightly powdery, with a distinctive fuzzy warmth reminiscent of warm honey mixed with crushed chalk and fresh hay. There's an animalic undertone, almost like the scent of a sun-warmed animal hide. It's sweeter than you'd expect from a flower, with a subtly bitter almond note lurking beneath. Imagine walking past a flowering mimosa tree in southern France on a warm afternoon: creamy, golden, slightly intoxicating, and deeply comforting.

Woody

Sandalwood smells like warm, creamy silk wrapped around your skin on a cool evening. Imagine the subtle sweetness of vanilla mixed with a gentle spice—almost peppery—alongside a soft, almost powdery dryness. There's a faint milky quality, like almond paste or coconut cream, but not fruity. It's deeply comforting, never sharp or aggressive; rather, it unfolds slowly, like the smell of an old wooden jewellery box lined with fabric, releasing its aroma only when you lean in close. Grounding and intimate.
