Green

Birch leaf smells like crisp spring air captured in a bottle. Imagine crushing fresh green leaves between your fingers on a cool morning—there's a clean, slightly herbal bite with undertones of subtle sweetness and a whisper of something almost minty. It's the scent of early woodland walks: green, bright, and slightly peppery, with a delicate dryness reminiscent of hay and pale wood shavings. Not floral, not fruity—purely, refreshingly vegetative.

Spicy

Black pepper smells nothing like sweetness—it's sharp, almost peppery bite that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine crushing fresh peppercorns between your fingers: you'll catch pungent, slightly woody warmth mixed with an almost citrusy brightness. There's a clean, dry heat to it—reminiscent of cracked pepper on a steak or the spicy tingle after biting into a fresh chilli, though less aggressive. It feels simultaneously warming and slightly cooling, prickling against the inside of your nostrils.
