Aquatic

Sea salt doesn't smell like salt itself—there's no actual scent to sodium chloride. Rather, it evokes the *experience* of coastal air: that bracing, slightly mineral-tinged atmosphere you breathe near the ocean. Imagine the crisp ozone-like quality after a sea breeze, mixed with hints of driftwood, seaweed, and sun-warmed skin. It's clean yet slightly salty-sour, almost metallic at the edges—like licking your forearm after swimming in the sea. Fresh, energising, and distinctly nostalgic.

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.
