Green

Chamomile smells like a soothing cup of herbal tea—soft, slightly sweet, with delicate apple-like undertones and a whisper of hay. Imagine dried flowers crushed between your fingers on a summer meadow: there's a gentle grassiness, almost woolly warmth, paired with subtle fruity notes reminiscent of dried apricots. It's comforting rather than bold, with an herbaceous quality that feels familiar and calming, like walking through a sunlit garden at golden hour.

Floral

Tagetes smells like a peculiar marriage of bitter herbs and sweet flowers—imagine crushed marigold petals mixed with petrol and anise. There's a sharp, almost peppery greenness, with whispers of carnation and clove. It's not immediately "pretty," rather it's pungent and slightly medicinal, reminiscent of crushed tomato leaves on a summer's day. Some detect honeyed undertones, but it's fundamentally an acquired, sophisticated scent that feels more botanical than traditionally floral.
