Spicy

Juniper smells crisp, dry, and slightly piney—imagine crushing fresh evergreen needles between your fingers on a cool morning. There's a subtle spiciness underneath, a whisper of pepper and warm wood, along with a clean, almost gin-like quality (because yes, juniper berries flavour gin). It's woody but not heavy, with a slightly resinous bite that tingles in your nostrils. Fresh-cut conifer, a hint of camphor, and something almost medicinal—think of walking through a pine forest after rain.

Citrus

Orange absolute smells nothing like the bright, sharp bite of fresh orange juice. Instead, imagine biting into an overripe orange left in the sun—deeply sweet, almost candied, with a velvety richness reminiscent of marmalade or candied peel. There's an underlying animalic warmth, almost creamy, like orange blossom honey mixed with worn leather. It's honeyed rather than citrusy in the traditional sense, with subtle woody undertones that feel almost narcotic.
