Fresh

Powdery notes smell like the soft, clean embrace of talcum powder or iris root—a delicate, slightly dusty floral with an almost velvety texture on the nose. Imagine the faint sweetness of pressed flowers mixed with the gentle creaminess of cosmetic powder, with whispers of almond and vanilla. There's an airy, lightweight quality, almost like inhaling the scent of freshly laundered linen dusted with subtle florals. It's comforting and intimate rather than bold—the olfactory equivalent of soft cashmere against skin.

Woody

Woody notes smell like the heart of a forest distilled into essence. Imagine the warm, dry interior of a cedar wardrobe, the earthy grip of tree bark after rain, or the comforting scent of aged timber in an old library. They're neither sweet nor sharp—rather, they're grounding and substantial, with a slightly resinous, almost creaky quality. Think of pencil shavings, sandalwood's buttery softness, or the austere dryness of vetiver. These notes smell like nature's architecture: solid, enduring, and deeply familiar.
