Gourmand

Beeswax absolute smells like honeyed warmth wrapped in softness—imagine the sweet, creamy interior of a honeycomb, with subtle notes of amber and talc-like powder. It's waxy and buttery, slightly resinous, with an almost skin-like warmth that feels intimate rather than intensely sweet. Think of walking into a candle shop where beeswax candles gently perfume the air, or pressing your nose against warm honey that's been left in the sun. It's gourmand without being cloying; rather, it's a comforting, almost narcotic sweetness with an earthy, slightly floral undertone.

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.
