Floral

Red rose smells like the inside of a velvet jewellery box—honeyed yet slightly green, with a powdery sweetness reminiscent of dried petals and old perfume bottles. There's a subtle spice underneath, almost peppery, mixed with a delicate green leafiness from the stem. Unlike fresh-cut roses (which smell surprisingly subtle and watery), a concentrated red rose note is rich and complex, like walking into a Victorian garden where blooms have been baking in afternoon sun. It's simultaneously soft and assertive—never truly delicate, always memorable.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
