Sage smells like a fresh, herbal, and slightly earthy scent with a hint of wood underneath. It's clean and crisp, kind of like a mix between a herb and a forest note, but not too heavy. It has some depth to it that keeps it interesting. Sage smells like fresh herbs in a kitchen or the clean, natural scent of a quality body wash. It's often used in fragrances to add a cool, earthy, and aromatic freshness that feels natural and grounded.
