Bay leaf smells like stepping into a Mediterranean kitchen—herbaceous, slightly peppery, and unmistakably savoury. It's green and fresh with a subtle warmth underneath, reminiscent of crushed dried leaves and dried thyme, but with an almost minty coolness that catches the back of your nose. There's something simultaneously culinary and aromatic about it, neither purely floral nor entirely spicy. If you've ever rubbed a bay leaf between your fingers and inhaled, that's precisely the character: slightly bitter, gently warming, and deeply earthy.

Sage smells like stepping into a Mediterranean herb garden on a warm afternoon. It's dry, slightly peppery, and vaguely medicinal—reminiscent of the leaves you'd brush past while walking through wild scrubland. There's an earthy, almost dusty quality, with subtle woody undertones and a whisper of camphor that catches the back of your nose. It's green without being fresh or citrusy; instead, it feels weathered and wise, like the plant itself has absorbed years of sunlight and been slightly baked by heat.
