Citrus

Red grapefruit smells like biting into the flesh of a freshly halved grapefruit at breakfast—that sharp, almost mouth-puckering citrus punch with a distinctly bitter-sweet edge. Unlike the brighter cheerfulness of lemon or lime, red grapefruit carries a deeper, slightly floral undertone with a touch of rosy warmth. There's a fleshy, juicy quality that feels almost creamy compared to other citrus fruits. The aroma is simultaneously refreshing and slightly bitter, like sunshine mixed with grapefruit rind oil—invigorating yet with an adult sophistication that yellow grapefruit lacks.

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.
