Floral

Florentine iris smells like powdered violets mixed with buttered toast—soft, earthy, and slightly sweet with an almost creamy quality. Imagine the gentle dust from old library books combined with the warmth of iris root that's been stored for years. There's a delicate, almost cosmetic quality: think expensive face powder, dried flowers, and a whisper of almond or cashew butter. It's refined rather than floral in the typical sense—more sophisticated grandmother's dressing table than garden bloom.

Oriental

Tolu balm smells like walking into a candlelit room after someone's been baking spiced biscuits. Imagine warm vanilla cream threaded with cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of leather—almost medicinal in its richness, but decidedly comforting. There's an amber-like sweetness that feels honeyed and slightly resinous, with underlying notes reminiscent of old wood or aged parchment. It's the olfactory equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket on an autumn evening.
