Spicy

Cardamom smells like opening a spice jar in an Indian kitchen—warm, slightly sweet, with a cooling menthol undertone that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: there's honeyed sweetness, a hint of citrus brightness, and an almost eucalyptus-like freshness that lingers. It's creamy and slightly woody, nothing aggressive, but distinctly aromatic and memorable. It's the scent of chai brewing, of comfort and sophistication mingling together.

Cinnamon smells warm, slightly sweet, and gently peppery—imagine biting into a cinnamon stick and feeling that gentle heat bloom across your tongue, then translate that sensation to your nose. It's woody yet spicy, reminiscent of mulled wine, Christmas baking, and the dusty sweetness of ground spice in a baker's tin. The aroma feels almost edible, with a subtle dryness underneath that warmth, rather like the roof of your mouth after tasting the real thing. It's comforting without being cloying.
