Spicy

Bell pepper smells green, crisp, and slightly vegetal—imagine biting into a fresh red pepper, releasing that juicy, watery brightness. It's fresher than you'd expect, with a subtle sweetness lurking beneath grassy, almost cucumber-like notes. There's a slight peppery bite that tingles rather than burns, reminiscent of biting into raw capsicum flesh. It's surprisingly clean and modern, neither fully vegetable nor entirely fruity—somewhere between the snap of a fresh garden and a kitchen just after chopping.

Oriental

Benzoin smells like sweetened vanilla cream kissed with caramel and a whisper of incense smoke. Imagine walking into a bakery where warm pastries have just emerged from the oven, then stepping into a Buddhist temple where resin smoulders on hot coals. It's honeyed and slightly powdery, with an almost medicinal undertone—like comforting cough sweets wrapped in silk. There's a subtle almond note too, creamy rather than sharp. It's deeply gourmand yet spiritual, simultaneously cosy and exotic.
