Floral

Everlasting flower—primarily Helichrysum italicum—smells like dried straw kissed with honey and a whisper of curry leaf. Imagine walking through a sun-baked Mediterranean meadow in late August: there's a warm, slightly herbaceous sweetness, almost papery and dusty, with subtle woody undertones. It's not floral in the traditional sense; rather, it's earthy and golden, reminiscent of hay warming in afternoon light. The scent is quietly comforting, like pressing your nose into dried lavender bundles mixed with spiced amber.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
