Gourmand

Coffee absolute smells like the richest, most intoxicating moment after grinding fresh beans—but intensified and slightly syrupy. Imagine walking into an artisanal roastery where the air itself tastes bitter-sweet, with deep chocolate undertones, roasted grain warmth, and a whisper of caramel. It's not sharp or acidic like brewed coffee; instead, it's velvety, almost narcotic, with subtle leather and tobacco facets that feel both comforting and slightly smoky. There's an almost gourmand creaminess lurking beneath, despite being utterly unsweetened.

Oriental

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.
