Citrus

Bergamot smells like someone's just peeled a ripe orange in bright morning sunlight—that initial burst of citrus sweetness combined with something distinctly floral and almost tea-like. It's lighter and more delicate than lemon or grapefruit, with a subtle bittersweet edge and a powdery, slightly herbaceous undertone that lingers. Imagine Earl Grey tea without the tannins, mixed with candied orange peel and a whisper of honeyed florals. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, crisp yet creamy.

Green

Lapsang Souchong tea smells like a woodsmoke-tinged campfire wrapped in dark honey and dried fruit. Imagine walking past a bonfire, then stepping into a cosy tea room where the air carries hints of ripe plum, leather, and something pleasantly bitter—like burnt caramel with a whisper of pine resin. It's smoky without being acrid, sophisticated without pretension. The scent has an almost savoury warmth, like toasted grain and dried apricot lingering on your fingertips after handling the leaves.
