Citrus

Citrus notes smell like the exact moment you peel a fresh lemon, lime, or orange—that bright burst of zesty oil that catches the light and makes your mouth water. It's crisp, clean, and intensely alive; imagine the sharp, almost peppery tang of grapefruit or the sweet-tart zing of bergamot. These notes sparkle on your skin like carbonated sunshine, immediately making everything feel fresher, more energised, and utterly refreshing. They're the fragrance equivalent of opening a window on a spring morning.

Woody

Violet root doesn't smell like the delicate flower you'd expect. Instead, imagine stepping into a dusty, earthy cellar where old books and dried herbs rest on wooden shelves. It's warm, slightly woody, with an almost peppery dryness—reminiscent of iris root's earthiness, but softer and more intimately powdery. There's a faint green tea-like quality, almost like beetroot skin or wet soil after rainfall. It's quietly sophisticated, almost Victorian in its restraint.
