Gourmand

Liquorice root smells like sweet anise meets dark caramel with a peculiar earthiness underneath—imagine the smell of a liquorice sweet crossed with molasses and a whisper of soil. It's syrupy and warm, with a slightly medicinal, herbaceous edge that prevents it from being cloying. There's a spiced quality too, reminiscent of warm licorice tea. Pure glycyrrhiza glabra is intensely aromatic and somewhat powdery, leaving a lingering sweetness on your skin similar to the aftertaste of black liquorice sweets.

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.
