Floral

Night-blooming jasmine smells like intoxicating sweetness with an almost indolic richness—imagine honeyed gardenia crossed with something more animalic and sensual. There's a creamy, almost fleshy quality to it, with whispers of coconut and ripe stone fruit. It's heavier and more voluptuous than day jasmine, with an unmistakable warmth that borders on powdery. If you've walked past a night garden in summer, that headily fragrant air clinging to your clothes captures it perfectly: deeply floral but with an underlying earthiness and a hint of something intriguingly bodily and human.

Turkish Rose smells like walking through a sun-warmed garden after rain—intensely floral, with a slightly spiced, almost peppery undertone that sets it apart from delicate rose notes. Imagine crushed rose petals mixed with honey and a whisper of cloves; it's rich and full-bodied, neither cloying nor thin. There's an almost wine-like warmth to it, slightly animalic and earthy, as if you've buried your face in a bouquet of the most mature, voluptuous blooms imaginable. It feels luxurious and old-world, rather than the fresh, dewy quality of lighter florals.
