Fresh

Mint smells like a sharp, cool breath of freshness—imagine crushing fresh spearmint leaves between your fingers on a summer afternoon. It's simultaneously sweet and peppery, with a tingling, almost icy sensation that makes your nose feel alert and awake. There's a green, slightly herbal quality beneath the coolness, reminiscent of toothpaste and chewing gum, but far more sophisticated and natural. It's the olfactory equivalent of splashing cold water on your face.

Green

Rosemary smells like standing in a sun-baked Mediterranean herb garden on a hot afternoon. It's intensely herbaceous and peppery, with a sharp, almost minty bite that clears your sinuses. There's an underlying woodiness—imagine crushing fresh sprigs between your fingers and catching that piney, slightly resinous exhale. It's green in the most literal sense: fresh, slightly bitter, and vaguely medicinal, like the smell of a high-street chemist mixed with a country kitchen.
