Floral

Hawthorn smells like spring itself captured in a bottle—imagine walking through a hedgerow bursting with delicate white blossoms, mixed with fresh green leaves and the crisp, slightly sweet air after rain. There's an almost creamy, honeyed quality beneath the floral brightness, reminiscent of meadow flowers and fresh-cut grass. It's gentle and airy, never heavy or perfume-y, with subtle fruity undertones that whisper of apple and pear. The overall effect is quietly intoxicating: innocent yet strangely sensual.

Woody

Violet root doesn't smell like the delicate flower you'd expect. Instead, imagine stepping into a dusty, earthy cellar where old books and dried herbs rest on wooden shelves. It's warm, slightly woody, with an almost peppery dryness—reminiscent of iris root's earthiness, but softer and more intimately powdery. There's a faint green tea-like quality, almost like beetroot skin or wet soil after rainfall. It's quietly sophisticated, almost Victorian in its restraint.
