Spicy

Nutmeg smells like warmth wrapped in spice—imagine biting into a freshly grated kernel and encountering something simultaneously sweet and peppery, with an almost woody undertone. It's not harsh or aggressive; rather, it has a creamy, slightly earthy quality, reminiscent of cloves mixed with a whisper of black pepper and dried fruit. In a fragrance, it creates a sensation of gentle heat, the kind you'd experience warming your hands around a mulled wine or freshly baked spiced cake.

Sri Lankan cardamom smells like opening a spice jar at an Indian restaurant—warm, peppery, and slightly sweet, with an almost minty coolness underneath. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: you get that creamy, slightly resinous warmth mixed with a sharp, almost eucalyptus-like freshness. There's a subtle floral whisper beneath the spice, like dried rose petals warming in the sun. It's aromatic without being harsh, comforting yet distinctly exotic.
