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.

Orange blossom smells like wedding day innocence—delicate, honeyed, and sweetly intoxicating. Imagine stepping into a Mediterranean grove where bitter orange trees are in full bloom: there's a creamy, almost waxy floral sweetness reminiscent of jasmine, but airier and less heady. It carries subtle citrus whispers (the ghost of orange peel) beneath layers of creamy butter and almond milk. There's something both ethereal and sensual about it—less heavy than gardenia, more refined than rose, with a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps it from being cloying.
