Spicy

Ceylon cinnamon smells like warmth wrapped in silk rather than heat wrapped in fire. Imagine biting into a soft cinnamon bun fresh from the oven—sweet, almost honeyed, with delicate woody undertones and the faintest whisper of clove. Unlike its brasher cousin cassia cinnamon (which smells aggressive and medicinal), Ceylon cinnamon is refined and creamy, with subtle citrus notes dancing underneath. It's less "cough drop" and more "luxury spice cabinet."

Floral

Floral notes smell like walking through a garden in full bloom—but it's not one singular scent. Imagine the fresh, slightly sweet perfume of a rose just opened; the heady, almost intoxicating richness of jasmine at dusk; the delicate, powdery whisper of violet; or the honeyed warmth of tuberose. Florals range from airy and innocent to lush and sensual. Some are bright and aldehydic (like magnolia), whilst others are soft and creamy (like gardenia). Most are inherently feminine in character, though they're far more complex than they first appear.
