Spicy

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.

Gourmand

Wine must smells like the intoxicating moment just before fermentation truly begins—a heady blend of crushed grape skins, fermenting fruit juice, and yeasty warmth. Imagine walking into a winery during harvest: there's the sharp sweetness of fresh grape pulp, hints of alcohol vapour beginning to rise, and an earthy, almost bread-like quality from active yeast. It's simultaneously fruity and slightly funky, with a subtle vinous bite that tingles the back of your nose. Think ripe grapes meeting warm bread dough with a whisper of alcohol's peppery sting.
