Woody

Oak smells like walking into a whisky distillery or an old library—think warm, dry wood with subtle sweetness and a faint vanilla undertone. It's the scent of aged wooden furniture, barrel-aged spirits, and weathered timber that's been warmed by sunlight. There's an almost leathery quality, sometimes slightly smoky, reminiscent of cedarwood but deeper and more sophisticated. It's comforting rather than fresh, with a gentle earthiness that feels established and enduring.

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.
