Spicy

Chili in fragrance is that sharp, almost stinging sensation you experience biting into a fresh red chilli pepper—but experienced through scent rather than taste. It's peppery and slightly smoky, with an underlying warmth that feels almost prickling on your nose. There's a subtle fruitiness beneath the heat, reminiscent of red bell peppers, combined with a dry, slightly woody undertone. Unlike culinary chilli's immediate burn, fragrant chilli is more refined: spicy without aggression, creating a tingling sensation that's intriguing rather than uncomfortable.

Cinnamon smells warm, slightly sweet, and gently peppery—imagine biting into a cinnamon stick and feeling that gentle heat bloom across your tongue, then translate that sensation to your nose. It's woody yet spicy, reminiscent of mulled wine, Christmas baking, and the dusty sweetness of ground spice in a baker's tin. The aroma feels almost edible, with a subtle dryness underneath that warmth, rather like the roof of your mouth after tasting the real thing. It's comforting without being cloying.
