Spicy

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.

Citrus

Red mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed fruit on a Mediterranean afternoon—sweet, juicy, and radiating warmth rather than the sharp bite of lemon. It's softer and rounder than regular orange, with honeyed undertones and a creamy floral whisper beneath the zesty top note. There's an almost powdery quality, like the dusty bloom on freshly picked fruit, mixed with subtle woody undertones that prevent it from being purely sugary. It feels nostalgic—like marmalade, candied peel, and childhood sweets.
