Slow Burn Scent Glossary
Our scents don't fit neatly into one category and that's intentional...
But we've tried to make it a little easier to narrow down what you might like!
If a fragrance appears in the 'Woody' category, it means its overall profile leans strongly woody, not that 'woody' is its only defining characteristic. Many fragrances naturally overlap with complementary categories.
The glossary is meant to help you identify a scent's dominant characteristics. Use it to find scents that share a similar vibe, discover fragrance profiles you already love, and explore something new.
