Citrus

Candied fruits smell like the nostalgic sweetness of a traditional sweet shop—imagine biting into a glazed orange peel or a jewel-bright preserved apricot. It's citrus stripped of its fresh, zesty bite and wrapped instead in a honeyed, almost caramelised warmth. There's a jammy thickness to it, with subtle spice notes (think cinnamon or clove) lurking beneath the sugar. It's comforting rather than sharp, reminiscent of marmalade or the aroma wafting from a Victorian kitchen during confectionery-making.

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.
