Common elder (elderflower) smells like a delicate, honeyed whisper of spring. Imagine stepping into a garden where creamy white blossoms cluster overhead—there's a subtle sweetness reminiscent of white grapes and muscat wine, layered with a fresh, almost green herbaceousness. It's powdery and soft, like holding a handful of elderflowers to your nose, with a faint mineral earthiness underneath. The scent is fleeting and ethereal, never heavy—more like catching a fragrance on a breeze than smelling something directly.

Iris smells like powdered iris root—dusty, refined, slightly sweet. Imagine the scent of talcum powder mixed with subtle earth, a whisper of violet, and delicate woodiness. It's creamy and soft, reminiscent of expensive face powder from your grandmother's vanity, yet grounded with mineral-like dryness. Not floral in the obvious sense; rather, it's an elegant, almost grey-toned fragrance that feels sophisticated and rather androgynous, with a faint hint of buttered almonds underneath.
