My mom's old wooden house
My mamak's (grandma's) house was made of wood. From the floor to the walls, everything was made of wood. That was very common in Borneo, especially if you didn't have much money. A house made of concrete meant you were wealthy!
Everything in the house was also made of wood. It created this woody, dusty yet cozy smell in the house. In the evening, after the afternoon rain, I slept on the mattress on the wooden floor. I could smell the wood, the rain. I loved staying with Mamak.
You Doux gave me that familiar feeling. That familiar smell. Woody, creamy and warm from the Palo Santo. If you've smelled dry Palo Santo before, then you know the smell.
Sometimes I also smelled a hint of violet. Maybe some people perceive this as the cucumber or gherkin smell that is found in Santal 33. But to me, they don't smell similar at all! Here, the violet just adds something spicy and perhaps dusty. It made me feel like I was smelling old wooden furniture.
I particularly like wearing it around the house. I can actually still smell it after over 6 hours. Although it stays close to the skin. One of my cats is crazy about this scent. He won't leave me alone and won't stop cuddling with me when I wear this hahaha.
If you like Nothing but Sea and Sky, Dirty Rice, Freudian Wood, Lethe or Milky Musk/39, you might also like You Doux!
