Citrus

Kiwano smells like the delicate, almost crystalline freshness of biting into a ripe kiwifruit—that bright, green, slightly tart quality with subtle melon undertones. Imagine the juicy, watery essence of freshly sliced kiwi flesh combined with a whisper of honeydew melon, stripped of heaviness and left utterly transparent. It's refreshingly vegetal without being grassy, more like the cool, slightly tangy juice that runs down your chin than the fruit's flesh itself. There's an almost ozonic quality—like captured morning dew on green fruit.

Spicy

Sichuan pepper smells nothing like black pepper. Imagine biting into fresh grapefruit zest mixed with a gentle eucalyptus breeze—there's a bright citrusy sparkle, almost electric. Then comes a subtle cooling tingle, like menthol's sophisticated cousin, followed by a warm, slightly woody undertone reminiscent of dry pine needles. It's peppery in the sense of being piquant and lively, not hot. Think of the aroma hitting your nose with playful, tingling clarity rather than sharp burn.
