Woody

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.

Citrus

Yuzu smells like a brilliantly tart citrus that sits between a lemon and a grapefruit, yet entirely distinct. Imagine biting into flesh that's floral-honeyed rather than purely sharp—there's an almost herbal, slightly green quality beneath the bright acidity. It's more delicate than a harsh lemon, with a whisper of perfumed soap and subtle spice. The aroma feels both clean and warmly exotic, like autumn sunshine rather than summer's glare.
