Bourbon geranium smells like a spiced rose garden after summer rain. It's floral and green, but with a peppery warmth underneath—imagine crushed geranium leaves releasing their slightly minty, slightly herbaceous oils, then layered with soft, powdery rose tones and a whisper of black pepper. There's an almost creamy, slightly fruity sweetness, like rose petals dried with a hint of apple skin. It's botanical without being medicinal; elegant rather than perfume-counter obvious.

Tuberose absolute is intoxicatingly creamy and indolic—imagine the headiness of gardenias crossed with coconut cream, powdered almond, and a whisper of something animalic and slightly funky. It's honeyed but not fruity, with an almost meaty richness underneath. Fresh tuberose smells like standing downwind from a garden at dusk; the absolute—the concentrated extract—amplifies this into something utterly sensual and slightly overwhelming, like breathing in flowers so fragrant they feel almost edible.
