Green

Sagebrush smells like standing in a high desert at dusk—dusty, herbaceous, slightly peppery with an almost medicinal bite. Imagine crushing dried sage leaves between your fingers, then add a whisper of dry earth, petrichor, and something slightly bitter and woody. It's greenish-grey rather than bright green, with a faint camphoraceous quality that catches in the back of your throat pleasantly. Think of sagebrush as the scent equivalent of worn denim—familiar, slightly austere, unexpectedly comforting.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
