Gourmand

Sweet notes smell like indulgence wrapped in warmth. Imagine biting into caramelised toffee, the butter-rich creaminess of vanilla custard, or warm honey drizzled over toast. There's a mouth-watering quality—like confectionery shops, bakeries, or the sticky sweetness clinging to your fingers after eating butterscotch. Unlike fruity sweetness, gourmand sweetness is dense and enveloping, evoking desserts and comfort foods rather than fresh produce. It's the olfactory equivalent of a warm hug from grandmother's kitchen.

Green

White thyme smells like walking through a sun-warmed Mediterranean herb garden on a dry afternoon. It's herbaceous and slightly peppery, with a whisper of mint coolness, but softer and more delicate than common garden thyme. There's a subtle green freshness—imagine crushing tender thyme leaves between your fingers, releasing oils that smell clean and almost slightly powdery. It's less robust than red thyme, more ethereal, with hints of hay and a barely-there citrus brightness that feels airy rather than sharp.
