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.

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.
