Citrus

Mandarin orange zest smells like pure, sparkling sunshine captured in a bottle. Imagine peeling a fresh mandarin—that precise moment when your fingernail breaks through the dimpled skin and releases a fine spray of volatile oils. It's sweeter than lemon, brighter than grapefruit, with a honeyed warmth underneath. There's a slight bittersweet edge from the white pith, and a juicy, almost creamy sweetness that feels tactile on your nose. It's immediately uplifting, almost childlike in its simplicity.

Floral

Violet smells like powdered sweetness with an almost creamy, slightly spicy undertone—imagine the delicate petals of a garden violet crushed between your fingers, mixed with a hint of almond and dry hay. It's softer than a rose, with a whisper of green leafiness beneath. There's something almost edible about it, reminiscent of violet sweets or the faint perfume of talcum powder. The scent is gentle and nostalgic, neither purely floral nor purely sweet, creating an impression that's both aristocratic and intimate.
