Floral

Egyptian jasmine absolute is intoxicatingly heady and sensual—imagine walking through a moonlit garden where white flowers drip with nectar. It's honeyed yet slightly indolic (think a whisper of animalic warmth, like skin after sun exposure), with creamy, almost buttery richness. There's an underlying greenness too, reminiscent of fresh plant stems and leaves. It's the smell of luxury and abandon combined: sophisticated florality with an almost flesh-like intimacy that feels dangerously close.

Citrus

Sicilian bergamot smells like biting into the bright flesh of a bitter orange—simultaneously zesty and subtly floral. Imagine fresh-cut citrus peel catching afternoon sunlight: sharp, almost peppery top notes give way to a delicate, almost perfumed sweetness underneath. It's more refined than lemon, less sweet than orange, with an intriguing mineral quality and a whisper of florality that makes it feel sophisticated rather than simply fruity. The aroma is distinctly Mediterranean—crisp, energetic, and impossibly fresh.
