Green

Red thyme smells like walking through a sun-warmed Mediterranean herb garden on a dusty afternoon. It's green and peppery, with a subtle spiciness reminiscent of black pepper and clove, but softer—almost minty without being sharp. There's an earthy, slightly resinous quality underneath, like brushing past dried herbs that release their oils into warm air. It's herbaceous and slightly woody, with a whisper of thyme's characteristic savoury warmth, but with a red undertone suggesting deeper, more complex spice notes than common green thyme.

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.
