Green

Oregano smells like a sun-baked Mediterranean hillside captured in a bottle. It's peppery and slightly minty with an herbaceous bite—imagine crushing fresh oregano leaves between your fingers after they've warmed in the afternoon heat. There's a savoury, almost woody undertone with a whisper of spice that tingles on your olfactory sense. It's green without being grassy; instead, it's assertive and slightly dusty, reminiscent of dried herbs hanging in a rustic kitchen. The aroma carries warmth and earthiness that feels both culinary and botanical.

Spicy

Black pepper smells nothing like sweetness—it's sharp, almost peppery bite that makes your nose tingle pleasantly. Imagine crushing fresh peppercorns between your fingers: you'll catch pungent, slightly woody warmth mixed with an almost citrusy brightness. There's a clean, dry heat to it—reminiscent of cracked pepper on a steak or the spicy tingle after biting into a fresh chilli, though less aggressive. It feels simultaneously warming and slightly cooling, prickling against the inside of your nostrils.
