Floral

Osmanthus smells like honeyed apricots kissed with delicate florality—imagine biting into a ripe stone fruit, then discovering subtle floral whispers underneath. It's softer than jasmine, warmer than gardenia, with a creamy sweetness reminiscent of peach nectar or dried apricot jam. The scent carries an almost indolic quality (similar to white flowers) but remains approachable and comforting, never heavy. Some detect subtle hints of caramel or honey, making it feel both gourmand and elegantly floral simultaneously.

Citrus

Pear smells like biting into a ripe fruit on a sun-warmed afternoon—juicy, green, and gently sweet without cloying. It's lighter and more delicate than citrus, with a crisp, slightly floral character that sits somewhere between fresh apple and honeyed stone fruit. There's a subtle green leaf quality, almost like the stem and skin of the fruit. It feels clean and innocent, perhaps reminiscent of pear juice or those waxy pear sweets from childhood, but far more sophisticated and refined when isolated as a fragrance ingredient.
