Citrus

Calabrian lemon smells like sunshine captured in a bottle. Imagine biting into a just-picked lemon from a Mediterranean grove—bright, juicy, and intensely zesty—but with an unexpected warmth underneath. Unlike the sharp, almost medicinal bite of other lemons, Calabrian lemon carries honeyed, almost floral undertones with subtle hints of petrichor and earthy minerals. It's crisp without being harsh, reminiscent of fresh lemon zest combined with a whisper of candied peel and warm stone.

Floral

Tagetes smells like a peculiar marriage of bitter herbs and sweet flowers—imagine crushed marigold petals mixed with petrol and anise. There's a sharp, almost peppery greenness, with whispers of carnation and clove. It's not immediately "pretty," rather it's pungent and slightly medicinal, reminiscent of crushed tomato leaves on a summer's day. Some detect honeyed undertones, but it's fundamentally an acquired, sophisticated scent that feels more botanical than traditionally floral.
