Green

Imagine crushing fresh green leaves between your palms on a damp morning—that's the essence of a leaves note. It smells green, yes, but not floral or fruity. Think of the sharp, almost peppery bite of tomato leaves, the cool refreshness of mint without the sweetness, or wet grass clippings after rain. There's a slightly bitter, herbaceous quality that feels natural and earthy, with a whisper of vegetal freshness that makes your nose tingle pleasantly.

Floral

Orange blossom smells like wedding day innocence—delicate, honeyed, and sweetly intoxicating. Imagine stepping into a Mediterranean grove where bitter orange trees are in full bloom: there's a creamy, almost waxy floral sweetness reminiscent of jasmine, but airier and less heady. It carries subtle citrus whispers (the ghost of orange peel) beneath layers of creamy butter and almond milk. There's something both ethereal and sensual about it—less heavy than gardenia, more refined than rose, with a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps it from being cloying.
