Green

Celery seed smells like the crisp, slightly bitter green heart of a freshly snapped celery stalk, but with an intriguing spicy-warm undertone—almost peppery. Imagine biting into fresh celery at the farmers' market, then adding a whisper of anise and dried herbs. It's herbaceous and clean, with a subtle earthiness that feels both vegetable-like and oddly warming. There's nothing floral or sweet about it; instead, it's savourily green, like walking through a kitchen garden on a dewy morning.

Spicy

Clove smells like a warm spice cabinet on a winter's day—sharp, almost peppery, with a sweet undertone reminiscent of honey and wood smoke. Imagine biting into a clove bud: your mouth tingles with a slightly numbing sensation, and your nose fills with something both comforting and assertive. It's less fruity than cinnamon, less heat-forward than chilli, with an almost medicinal cleanliness beneath the spice. Picture the aroma drifting from mulled wine or a freshly opened jar of pickling spices.
