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.

Frankincense smells like walking into an ancient temple during incense ceremony—warm, slightly woody, with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and old paper. There's a peppery, almost medicinal sharpness underneath, like the smell of a spice bazaar, combined with a dry, resinous warmth comparable to burning cedar wood. It's slightly creamy and balsamic, with whispers of citrus and pine. Imagine inhaling the aroma from inside a leather-bound antique book left in sunshine—that complexity and depth.
