Fresh

Powdery notes smell like the soft, clean embrace of talcum powder or iris root—a delicate, slightly dusty floral with an almost velvety texture on the nose. Imagine the faint sweetness of pressed flowers mixed with the gentle creaminess of cosmetic powder, with whispers of almond and vanilla. There's an airy, lightweight quality, almost like inhaling the scent of freshly laundered linen dusted with subtle florals. It's comforting and intimate rather than bold—the olfactory equivalent of soft cashmere against skin.

Spicy

Spicy notes conjure the warmth of a winter kitchen—imagine biting into a cinnamon stick, the peppery tingle of black pepper on your tongue, or the sweet-heat of clove. They're simultaneously warm and sharp, with a gentle burn that lingers pleasantly rather than aggressively. Think of the dusty, slightly sweet aroma of nutmeg or the resinous heat of ginger root. These notes feel comforting yet invigorating, like wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket whilst holding something alive and tingling in your hands.
