Scentwoods are known for their bark’s “spicy” smell - detestable to most insects, but generally very well-liked by people. For this reason, chests, closets, bread boxes, and other household containers that bugs are especially unwelcome in, are often made of this dark brown wood. Their leaves are heart shaped, dark green, and carry the same smell as the wood. Sometimes they're used in colognes or potpourris, but their most common use is as an invigorating tea, which has a mild amount of caffeine.
Scentwood flowers are small, fuzzy yellow things that grow in tight clusters. Since insects hate the smell of this tree, the flowers are given a wide berth by the usual pollinators, and must instead rely on the wind. The blossoms eventually develop into little olive green fruits, each containing a single seed about the size of a chocolate chip. The fruit is horribly bitter, even when ripe, and is a bit astringent too, like a green banana. Most people don't eat them at all, but some enjoy the energy boost - a single one of these “trembleberries” has the same amount of caffeine in it as two or three cups of coffee, depending on ripeness.
Scentwood silturen are dark brown, like Black humans, but not so dark that their actually-black markings cannot be seen. They tend toward tightly curled hair, and are almost never blonde. They have a faint scent about them that matches their tree, which lingers even outside the rut season (which is when a siltur's hormones will spike and bring out a fragrance that is hopefully attractive to potential mates - what scent depends on the type of siltur). They have a reputation for being more hyper than other varieties, but this is once again a misconception.
