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.

Citrus

Lemon is the zesty, almost sharp brightness you experience when you peel a fresh lemon in morning sunlight. Imagine that precise moment when oils burst from the skin—intensely citrusy yet slightly bitter, with an underlying sweetness that catches you off-guard. It's clean and piercing, like biting into the fruit itself, with a crisp acidity that makes your mouth anticipate tartness. There's a subtle green, almost herbal undertone beneath the fruity top note, reminiscent of the plant's leaves and stems.
