Oriental

Frankincense smells like walking into an ancient temple during incense ceremony—warm, slightly woody, with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and old paper. There's a peppery, almost medicinal sharpness underneath, like the smell of a spice bazaar, combined with a dry, resinous warmth comparable to burning cedar wood. It's slightly creamy and balsamic, with whispers of citrus and pine. Imagine inhaling the aroma from inside a leather-bound antique book left in sunshine—that complexity and depth.

Spicy

Ginger CO2 smells intensely like freshly grated ginger root—sharp, peppery, and almost prickling on the nose. Imagine biting into a piece of candied ginger, then amplify that warmth and spice tenfold. It's simultaneously green and hot, with a subtle sweetness beneath the bite, reminiscent of the inside of the rhizome itself. There's a slight citrusy brightness that prevents it from being purely peppery, and an almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from dried ginger powder, which would smell dusty and one-dimensional.
