Spicy

Ginger smells like a warm spice with a sharp, almost peppery bite that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine cracking open a fresh ginger root—there's an initial citrusy brightness with subtle floral undertones, followed by a dry, slightly woody heat. It's not fiery like chilli; rather, it's a refined warmth that feels both comforting and invigorating, reminiscent of freshly grated ginger in hot tea or the aromatic steam rising from spiced biscuits fresh from the oven.

Citrus

Grapefruit smells like biting into a freshly halved citrus fruit—sharp, juicy, and slightly bitter. Imagine the zesty spray that hits your face when you peel one, mixed with a subtle floral undertone and a touch of mineral freshness. It's brighter and more assertive than lemon, with a woody dryness lurking beneath the initial burst. There's an almost soapy, clean quality that makes it feel modern and energising rather than purely fruity.
