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.

Floral

Iris smells like powdered iris root—dusty, refined, slightly sweet. Imagine the scent of talcum powder mixed with subtle earth, a whisper of violet, and delicate woodiness. It's creamy and soft, reminiscent of expensive face powder from your grandmother's vanity, yet grounded with mineral-like dryness. Not floral in the obvious sense; rather, it's an elegant, almost grey-toned fragrance that feels sophisticated and rather androgynous, with a faint hint of buttered almonds underneath.
