Gourmand

Rice note smells like the warm, slightly sweet aroma of freshly cooked rice or rice flour—think of that comforting, faintly creamy scent that rises from a bowl of steaming jasmine rice. It's subtly powdery, almost milky, with whispers of grain and a gentle nuttiness reminiscent of toasted rice cereal. There's nothing sharp or pungent; instead, it wraps around you like a soft blanket, reminiscent of vanilla's gentler cousin but distinctly its own thing—simple, innocent, and deeply soothing.

Gourmand

Roasted tonka bean smells like warm vanilla cake batter mingled with almond extract, caramel, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. Imagine walking past a patisserie where vanilla pods are being toasted—there's that honeyed sweetness, but deeper and more complex than simple vanilla. It carries subtle notes of maple syrup, dried fruit, and a faint spiciness reminiscent of nutmeg or clove. The "roasted" character adds a slightly smoky, almost cocoa-like undertone that distinguishes it from plain vanilla's brightness. It's comforting, almost edible, yet surprisingly sophisticated.
