Scent Discovery
-
Woody 🌲
You’re in the forest, or maybe you’re burning one. It’s definitely a scent category you could bring home to your dad. If Ron Swanson was a scent, he’d be this. It’s the feeling of campfire smoke following you but without the lack of oxygen.

Floral 🌸
Maybe you’ve stepped into a Wes Anderson movie. We know you’ve probably never smelled a bouquet of flowers not in a grocery store bundle, so know this is better. You’re in a field of flowers, but without the bugs and the allergies.
-
Oriental 🌛
Possibly what Hugh Hefner’s library smells like but without the regret. If rich had a scent, it’d be this. It’s romantic, but not in a kissy-emoji way — in an eggplant emoji way. This is definitely Jeff Goldblum’s signature scent, probably.
-
Fresh 🪴
Not fresh like Bel Air. Fresh like your grandpa’s vegetable garden, or your neighbors apple tree. The smell of fresh-cut grass in the summer, or the salty smell of the ocean on the beach. What Soho Farmhouse wish they smelled like.
