Floral

Night-blooming jasmine smells like intoxicating sweetness with an almost indolic richness—imagine honeyed gardenia crossed with something more animalic and sensual. There's a creamy, almost fleshy quality to it, with whispers of coconut and ripe stone fruit. It's heavier and more voluptuous than day jasmine, with an unmistakable warmth that borders on powdery. If you've walked past a night garden in summer, that headily fragrant air clinging to your clothes captures it perfectly: deeply floral but with an underlying earthiness and a hint of something intriguingly bodily and human.

Green

Oakmoss smells like standing in an ancient forest after rain—earthy, slightly bitter, with a dry, woody undertone reminiscent of damp bark and lichen-covered stones. There's a faint greenness to it, almost herbaceous, mixed with something mineral and slightly musty, like opening a wooden chest that's been sealed for years. It's not fresh or sharp; rather, it's contemplative and deeply grounded, with whispers of leather and tea leaves underneath.
