Green

Provençal lavender smells like standing in a sun-warmed field at dawn—herbaceous and slightly peppery, with green, almost minty facets that feel crisp rather than floral. It's the scent of freshly laundered linens dried outdoors, with subtle camphorous undertones that catch in the back of your nose. Unlike powdery lavender, this is botanical and alive, with a whisper of hay and dry grass beneath. It's clean without being soapy, aromatic without being medicinal.

Spicy

Red pepper smells nothing like you'd expect if you've only tasted it. Rather than burning heat, it's a warm, slightly dry spice with a fruity undertone—imagine the sharp, peppery bite of freshly cracked black pepper married with the bright, almost citric snap of paprika. There's an aromatic, almost herbaceous quality beneath; it's peppery without aggression, more like the warming tingle you feel in your chest after inhaling the aroma of a spiced curry, or crushing fresh red peppercorns between your fingers and breathing in that pungent, almost sweet vapour.
