Spicy

Angelica root smells like warm spice meets earthy celery, with an almost medicinal undertone that's unexpectedly sensual. Imagine biting into a piece of crystallised ginger, then discovering it's also faintly herbal and slightly bitter—like chewing on the roots of a plant that's been drying in autumn sun. There's a peppery kick underneath, with whispers of musk and something vaguely animalic. It's comforting yet slightly stern, never sweet.

Floral

Iris smells like powdered iris root—dusty, refined, slightly sweet. Imagine the scent of talcum powder mixed with subtle earth, a whisper of violet, and delicate woodiness. It's creamy and soft, reminiscent of expensive face powder from your grandmother's vanity, yet grounded with mineral-like dryness. Not floral in the obvious sense; rather, it's an elegant, almost grey-toned fragrance that feels sophisticated and rather androgynous, with a faint hint of buttered almonds underneath.
