Citrus

Bergamot smells like someone's just peeled a ripe orange in bright morning sunlight—that initial burst of citrus sweetness combined with something distinctly floral and almost tea-like. It's lighter and more delicate than lemon or grapefruit, with a subtle bittersweet edge and a powdery, slightly herbaceous undertone that lingers. Imagine Earl Grey tea without the tannins, mixed with candied orange peel and a whisper of honeyed florals. It's simultaneously fresh and warm, crisp yet creamy.

Woody

Juniper berries smell like a crisp walk through a coniferous forest after rain. Imagine biting into a slightly bitter berry with piney, herbaceous undertones—there's an almost gin-like quality (because gin is literally flavoured with juniper). It's fresh and peppery with woody depth, reminiscent of crushed evergreen needles mixed with a touch of spice. There's an unexpected sweetness lurking beneath the sharpness, like candied citrus peel dusted with black pepper. It's simultaneously clean and earthy.
