Spicy

Cinnamon leaf is distinctly different from the sweeter cinnamon bark you know from pastries. Imagine walking past a spice market where bundles of dried leaves release a green-tinged, peppery warmth—less sugar, more herbaceous bite. It's sharper and more "leafy" than its bark cousin, with a slightly medicinal quality reminiscent of clove or black pepper, yet still unmistakably cinnamon. There's a subtle eucalyptus-like freshness underneath, a cooling whisper beneath the heat.

Green

Clary sage smells like walking through a sun-warmed herb garden after rain. Imagine crushed sage leaves—herbal and slightly peppery—but softer, more refined than common culinary sage. There's an unmistakable earthiness underneath, with whispers of something almost floral and slightly medicinal, like a heated poultice of lavender mixed with dried hay. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, green yet somehow powdery. The scent has an almost creamy texture to it, less sharp than you'd expect from an herb.
