Fresh

Powdery notes smell like the soft, clean embrace of talcum powder or iris root—a delicate, slightly dusty floral with an almost velvety texture on the nose. Imagine the faint sweetness of pressed flowers mixed with the gentle creaminess of cosmetic powder, with whispers of almond and vanilla. There's an airy, lightweight quality, almost like inhaling the scent of freshly laundered linen dusted with subtle florals. It's comforting and intimate rather than bold—the olfactory equivalent of soft cashmere against skin.

Floral

Rose smells like romance bottled. Imagine walking through a garden after rain—that's the green, slightly damp quality. Then there's the sweetness: honeyed, sometimes with a whisper of spice and subtle fruit notes. Depending on the variety, you might detect hints of honey, jam, or even a peppery warmth. It's never cloying if it's genuine; there's an elegant complexity, a velvety depth that makes you want to inhale again.
