I'll go first:
I would be Cassie, I always say that and the reason is because cassie is so soft, warm and human. I know mimosa is similar and I have some of the
concrete. It has that same soft warm floral that is delicate and yet very potent. There is something very pure about cassie. It is also very
different.

I'd have to be Rose.
Many different layers, blends with most things but where it does clash, it clashes hard. Can be prickly if approached the wrong way....

I am ruh khus -- earthy and primal, dirty and sweet. Sometimes I'm buttery and smooth, sometimes I'm bitter and harsh. You love me or you hate me,
there's hardly an in-between.

My heart sings of Cassia. Surprisingly mis-labeled by the masses as 'cinnamon' and generally not known for it's true name . There are many varieties
but my favorite, from Vietman, is called Siagon cassia. Sweet and spicey, warming and comforting, powerful and tenacious. Cassia has an ancient
history all over the 'Old World' and blends well with many things-bringing depth and complexity. I find it difficult to NOT blend with it.

Sapobubbles,
ruh khus smells divine. I love it too, but my scent is like my country, green and woody.
Inside the deepest jungle there grows sweet rosewood. A strong and tall tree that scents like flowers of wood.
I'd be
Aniba rosaeodora.

I think I would be honeysuckle or a cherry blossom.
Super sweet!
Have a nice equinox, today spring was all around!

I want to feed you the flowers of ice
on this winter window,
the aromas of many soups,
the scent of sacred candles
that follows me around this cedar house,
I want to feed you the lavender
that lifts up out of certain poems,
and the cinnamon of apples baking,
and the simple joy we see in the sky
when we fall in love.

Of course, rosewood. I love your definition "flowers of wood".

I'd be osmanthus. Flowers, fruit, a bit of green oil, and wood. Maybe osmanthus concrete, specifically, because it has hints of tea leaves in it.
I smell, therefore I am...

Fennel,
medicinal and scentual, strong yet fragile from the delicate green of spring to the deep earthy bronze, used for all ages in all times.
Love it, love it, love it.

Fennel is always a very feminine herb to me, from its delicate fonds to its strong bulb.... lovely!

I have some fennel pollen that I bought from a spice company. POTENT stuff. Way more potent than the seed, and makes for an interestingly strong
tincture.
