Spicy

Green cardamom smells like stepping into a spice bazaar on a crisp morning. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: there's an immediate cool, almost minty freshness with subtle eucalyptus undertones, followed by warmth—not heat, but a gentle, creamy spiciness reminiscent of freshly ground pepper mixed with a whisper of camphor. It's simultaneously bright and comforting, like the aromatic steam rising from chai tea, with an underlying herbaceous quality that feels alive and slightly peppery on the back of your nose.

Floral

Lavender smells like a sun-warmed herb garden on a Provençal hillside—fresh, slightly sweet, with a delicate pepperiness underneath. It's clean without being soapy, herbaceous without being medicinal, and carries whispers of honey and hay. Imagine crushing fresh lavender stems between your fingers: there's that bright, green sharpness, but also a soft, almost powdery warmth that lingers. It's utterly calming yet somehow sophisticated, neither heavy nor fleeting.
