Woody

Oud is profoundly complex—imagine walking into a centuries-old wooden temple where incense has smouldered for generations. There's dark, animalic warmth reminiscent of leather and tobacco, threaded through with something almost medicinal and slightly funky, like aged wood that's been touched by earth and time. Some describe it as smoky-sweet, with whispers of honey and spice lurking beneath. It's neither floral nor fresh; it's introspective and dense, filling your senses with contemplative richness.

Green

White sage smells like stepping into a sun-baked desert herb garden—dry, slightly peppery, with an almost medicinal crispness. Imagine crushing silvery-green sage leaves between your fingers: you get that clean, slightly bitter, almost minty character, but earthier and more austere than common culinary sage. There's a whisper of smoke and hay, a touch of resinous warmth, and an underlying herbaceous greenness that feels both refreshing and grounding, without floral sweetness.
