Common elder (elderflower) smells like a delicate, honeyed whisper of spring. Imagine stepping into a garden where creamy white blossoms cluster overhead—there's a subtle sweetness reminiscent of white grapes and muscat wine, layered with a fresh, almost green herbaceousness. It's powdery and soft, like holding a handful of elderflowers to your nose, with a faint mineral earthiness underneath. The scent is fleeting and ethereal, never heavy—more like catching a fragrance on a breeze than smelling something directly.

Hyacinth smells like springtime crystallised into a single moment—imagine walking through a garden where sweet, almost peppery florals bloom with an almost grape-like juiciness. There's a subtle woody-green undertone, like crushed stems and fresh spring air. It's intensely perfumed without being heavy, with a slightly powdery quality that feels both airy and sensual. Think of the scent you'd catch leaning into a bunch of tightly clustered flowers at the market, but with an elegant restraint that lingers gracefully rather than overwhelming your senses.
