Spicy

Cardamom smells like opening a spice jar in an Indian kitchen—warm, slightly sweet, with a cooling menthol undertone that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: there's honeyed sweetness, a hint of citrus brightness, and an almost eucalyptus-like freshness that lingers. It's creamy and slightly woody, nothing aggressive, but distinctly aromatic and memorable. It's the scent of chai brewing, of comfort and sophistication mingling together.

Gourmand

Marron glacé smells like candied chestnuts wrapped in spun sugar—imagine biting into a glossy, caramelised chestnut and finding that sweet, almost creamy interior with faint woodsy undertones. It's honeyed and buttery, reminiscent of roasted nuts and caramel, yet more refined than simple toffee. There's a subtle earthiness beneath the sweetness, like autumn leaves dusted with icing sugar. It's the olfactory equivalent of luxury confectionery: indulgent, slightly creamy, with a gentle warmth.
