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.

Gourmand

Imagine walking into a Polynesian bakery where vanilla pods are being split open—that's your first impression. But this isn't the gentle, delicate vanilla of ice cream. Tahitian vanilla absolute is richer, almost creamy, with honeyed warmth and a whisper of floral complexity that feels distinctly feminine. There's a subtle woodiness underneath, reminiscent of aged oak or sandalwood, paired with caramel sweetness and a soft, powdery richness. It's indulgent without being cloying—the scent equivalent of melted dark chocolate with hints of orchid petals.
