Floral

Almond blossom smells like spring itself—delicate, powdery, and creamy with an almost almond-paste sweetness. Imagine walking beneath trees heavy with pale pink flowers on a warm April morning. There's a subtle nuttiness beneath the florality, reminiscent of marzipan or almond milk, blended with a whisper of honey and fresh laundry dried in sunshine. It's tender and slightly green, never heavy or cloying—more whisper than shout.

Citrus

Mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed orange on a summer afternoon—bright, juicy, and intensely sweet, but with a slightly floral, almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from sharper citrus fruits like lemon. It's warmer and softer than bergamot, less bitter than grapefruit, with a whisper of honeyed smoothness. Imagine the concentrated essence of that sticky-fingered moment when you peel the fruit and release its aromatic oils—that's mandarin's character: immediately uplifting, naturally sweet, and wrapped in an almost candied warmth.
