Green

Imagine biting into a fresh mint leaf and experiencing that sudden, startling coolness that makes your mouth feel alive. Peppermint smells precisely like this: sharp, bright, and intensely herbaceous with a subtle sweetness lurking beneath. It's crisp and almost icy—the kind of scent that seems to clear your sinuses just by inhaling. There's a peppery spice to it too, slightly warming, which distinguishes it from spearmint's softer character. It smells clean, invigorating, and unmistakably natural, like walking through a sun-drenched herb garden.

Floral

Rose absolute smells like walking into a florist's shop on a warm afternoon—intensely floral, honeyed, and almost intoxicating. It's far richer and more opulent than fresh rose petals; imagine the deepest, most concentrated essence of a velvety red rose with layers of honey, dried fruits, and a whisper of green earthiness. There's an almost spicy warmth beneath the sweetness, with faint notes of leather and tea. It's simultaneously elegant and sensual, never delicate—this is the perfume equivalent of a full-bodied red wine.
