Citrus

Citrus fruits smell like bottled sunshine and optimism. Imagine biting into a fresh lemon or orange—that bright, zesty burst is pure citrus. It's sharp yet refreshing, slightly sweet, with a clean, almost crisp quality that makes your mouth water. There's a natural juiciness to it, a sparkling effervescence that feels alive on your skin. It's the scent of morning energy and Mediterranean warmth.

Floral

Orris root smells like powdered iris flowers left to dry in a sunlit linen cupboard—delicate, almost chalky, with a whisper of violet and a faint woody earthiness underneath. Imagine freshly ironed fabric with a dusting of talcum powder and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of old-fashioned face powder or the gentle floral smell of a grandmother's dressing table. It's refined and slightly peppery, never heavy or cloying; instead it feels airy and intimate.
