Citrus

Imagine biting into a sun-warmed mandarin fresh from a tree—that initial burst of bright, juicy sweetness mixed with a slightly green, almost grassy undertone. Italian green mandarin is fresher and more herbaceous than typical mandarin notes, with a subtle leafy quality reminiscent of crushed citrus leaves. It's simultaneously zesty and gently creamy, less sharp than lemon but more verdant than sweet orange. Think of the scent of an Italian orchard at dawn: citrus-forward, but with that cool green whisper that speaks of morning moisture and unripe fruit clinging to branches.

Oriental

Myrrh smells like incense and ancient temples—warm, slightly smoky, and deeply resinous. Imagine the dusty sweetness of aged wood combined with a subtle bitterness, like burnt honey with a whisper of medicinal earthiness. There's a dry, almost leathery quality that coats your mouth when you breathe it in. It's not bright or cheerful; rather, it feels ceremonial and contemplative, reminiscent of the aroma rising from a church censer or the lingering scent in a spice merchant's shop.
