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.

Floral

Wild rose smells like walking through an overgrown garden at dawn—honeyed, slightly green, with a peppery bite underneath. It's fresher and more assertive than cultivated rose; there's a tannic, almost tea-like quality, reminiscent of rosehip and damp foliage. Imagine crushing rose petals between your fingers, then catching a whiff of the stems and leaves—that's the green, slightly sharp character. It has a subtle fruitiness, like biting into a rose hip, with none of the cloying sweetness of hothouse varieties.
