Pot marigold carries a warm, slightly spicy-green character that's unexpectedly subtle for such a vibrant flower. Imagine crushed dried petals mixed with hay—there's an earthy sweetness reminiscent of honey and dried apricot, layered beneath a peppery, almost pungent herbal bite. It's less floral perfume and more botanical tea, with whispers of clove and a faintly bitter finish, like the inside of a flower's stamen rather than its pretty face.

Rose smells like romance bottled. Imagine walking through a garden after rain—that's the green, slightly damp quality. Then there's the sweetness: honeyed, sometimes with a whisper of spice and subtle fruit notes. Depending on the variety, you might detect hints of honey, jam, or even a peppery warmth. It's never cloying if it's genuine; there's an elegant complexity, a velvety depth that makes you want to inhale again.
