Floral

Hyacinth smells like springtime crystallised into a single moment—imagine walking through a garden where sweet, almost peppery florals bloom with an almost grape-like juiciness. There's a subtle woody-green undertone, like crushed stems and fresh spring air. It's intensely perfumed without being heavy, with a slightly powdery quality that feels both airy and sensual. Think of the scent you'd catch leaning into a bunch of tightly clustered flowers at the market, but with an elegant restraint that lingers gracefully rather than overwhelming your senses.

Orris root smells like powdered iris flowers left to dry in a sunlit linen cupboard—delicate, almost chalky, with a whisper of violet and a faint woody earthiness underneath. Imagine freshly ironed fabric with a dusting of talcum powder and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of old-fashioned face powder or the gentle floral smell of a grandmother's dressing table. It's refined and slightly peppery, never heavy or cloying; instead it feels airy and intimate.
