Citrus

Red currant smells like biting into a jewel of summer fruit—tart, slightly jammy, with a delicate floral whisper underneath. Imagine the bright-green snap of a freshly picked berry between your teeth, paired with a subtle powdery sweetness and hint of rose. It's not aggressively citric like lemon; instead, it carries an almost winey sophistication, reminiscent of cassis but far more refined and herbaceous. There's an ethereal, almost translucent quality—like holding the fruit up to sunlight.

Floral

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.
