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.

Gourmand

Royal jelly smells like honeyed sweetness with creamy, almost buttery undertones—imagine the aroma of warm honey drizzled over warm toast, but softer and more delicate. There's a subtle milky richness to it, reminiscent of fresh cream or the gentle sweetness of a beeswax candle. It's gourmand without being cloying; rather than smelling sticky or saccharine, it evokes comfort and indulgence, like honey sweets dissolving on your tongue. The scent carries a whisper of floral complexity too, suggesting the flowers bees have visited.
