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.

Floral

Rose oxide smells like the most ethereal whisper of a fresh rose—imagine inhaling deeply over a bouquet of dewy petals just as dawn breaks. It's cleaner and more transparent than typical rose absolutes; rather than the heavy, intoxicating richness you'd expect, it's delicate and almost green-tinged, with a subtle spicy warmth underneath. There's an airy, powdery quality reminiscent of rose water, yet somehow more refined and slightly peppery, as if someone's dusted the petals with the finest black pepper.
