Green

Imagine crushing fresh green leaves between your palms on a damp morning—that's the essence of a leaves note. It smells green, yes, but not floral or fruity. Think of the sharp, almost peppery bite of tomato leaves, the cool refreshness of mint without the sweetness, or wet grass clippings after rain. There's a slightly bitter, herbaceous quality that feels natural and earthy, with a whisper of vegetal freshness that makes your nose tingle pleasantly.

Citrus

Lemon is the zesty, almost sharp brightness you experience when you peel a fresh lemon in morning sunlight. Imagine that precise moment when oils burst from the skin—intensely citrusy yet slightly bitter, with an underlying sweetness that catches you off-guard. It's clean and piercing, like biting into the fruit itself, with a crisp acidity that makes your mouth anticipate tartness. There's a subtle green, almost herbal undertone beneath the fruity top note, reminiscent of the plant's leaves and stems.
