Citrus

Blackcurrant smells like biting into a dark, juicy berry—tart and slightly winey, with a peculiar green-edged sharpness that catches at the back of your nose. It's floral without being perfume-like, with hints of cassis liqueur and crushed blackberry leaves. There's an almost tannic dryness underneath, as though you've just eaten the skin of the fruit. It's simultaneously fruity and herbaceous, never cloying, with a cool, slightly spicy undertone that makes it feel sophisticated rather than sweet.

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.
