Floral

Floral notes smell like walking through a garden in full bloom—but it's not one singular scent. Imagine the fresh, slightly sweet perfume of a rose just opened; the heady, almost intoxicating richness of jasmine at dusk; the delicate, powdery whisper of violet; or the honeyed warmth of tuberose. Florals range from airy and innocent to lush and sensual. Some are bright and aldehydic (like magnolia), whilst others are soft and creamy (like gardenia). Most are inherently feminine in character, though they're far more complex than they first appear.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
