Spicy

Chili in fragrance is that sharp, almost stinging sensation you experience biting into a fresh red chilli pepper—but experienced through scent rather than taste. It's peppery and slightly smoky, with an underlying warmth that feels almost prickling on your nose. There's a subtle fruitiness beneath the heat, reminiscent of red bell peppers, combined with a dry, slightly woody undertone. Unlike culinary chilli's immediate burn, fragrant chilli is more refined: spicy without aggression, creating a tingling sensation that's intriguing rather than uncomfortable.

Nutmeg smells like warmth wrapped in spice—imagine biting into a freshly grated kernel and encountering something simultaneously sweet and peppery, with an almost woody undertone. It's not harsh or aggressive; rather, it has a creamy, slightly earthy quality, reminiscent of cloves mixed with a whisper of black pepper and dried fruit. In a fragrance, it creates a sensation of gentle heat, the kind you'd experience warming your hands around a mulled wine or freshly baked spiced cake.
