Woody

Juniper berries smell like a crisp walk through a coniferous forest after rain. Imagine biting into a slightly bitter berry with piney, herbaceous undertones—there's an almost gin-like quality (because gin is literally flavoured with juniper). It's fresh and peppery with woody depth, reminiscent of crushed evergreen needles mixed with a touch of spice. There's an unexpected sweetness lurking beneath the sharpness, like candied citrus peel dusted with black pepper. It's simultaneously clean and earthy.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
