unexpected Pairing
A surprising combination that creates unique and memorable compositions.
Floral
Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.
Citrus
Italian bergamot smells like someone's just peeled a fresh orange in bright sunlight—but with a crucial twist. It's sweeter and more floral than regular citrus, almost creamy, with a subtle spiced edge underneath. There's a delicate bitterness too, like biting into the white pith of the fruit. Imagine honeyed sunshine with a whisper of jasmine and a peppery finish. It's citrus that feels luxurious rather than purely zesty—less "cleaning product," more "Italian Riviera morning."
