Floral

Indian jasmine sambac is intoxicating and creamy—imagine the heady sweetness of fresh jasmine blossoms on a warm evening, laced with something almost milky and powdery. There's an indolic richness (that's the slightly animalic, almost fleshy undertone) that makes it feel voluptuous rather than delicate. It's the scent of stepping into a moonlit garden where flowers have been warming in the sun all day, releasing their most intimate perfume. Beneath the floral sweetness lies a subtle spice, with hints of honey and a whisper of something vaguely musty—utterly seductive and slightly intoxicating.

Gourmand

Tahitian vanilla smells like warm dessert: creamy, almost buttery sweetness with a subtle woodiness underneath. Imagine the aroma of vanilla custard tart fresh from the oven, but richer and more honeyed than common vanilla—less "extract bottle" and more "luxurious vanilla pod steeped in caramel." It's indulgent without being cloying, with whispers of dark chocolate and dried apricot. The scent clings to skin like a comforting embrace, breathing out sweetness that feels both innocent and sensual.
