Citrus

Kumquat smells like concentrated sunshine trapped in a tiny, bitter-sweet fruit. Imagine biting into the waxy skin of a small orange, but with a sharper, almost tart edge—less sweet juice, more zesty pith. There's a distinctive sour-bright quality, like candied citrus peel with a peppery snap underneath. It's cheerful and slightly tangy, with a delicate floral whisper that separates it from its louder citrus cousins. The scent is crisp, intimate, and slightly creamy on the skin.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
