Floral

Red rose smells like the inside of a velvet jewellery box—honeyed yet slightly green, with a powdery sweetness reminiscent of dried petals and old perfume bottles. There's a subtle spice underneath, almost peppery, mixed with a delicate green leafiness from the stem. Unlike fresh-cut roses (which smell surprisingly subtle and watery), a concentrated red rose note is rich and complex, like walking into a Victorian garden where blooms have been baking in afternoon sun. It's simultaneously soft and assertive—never truly delicate, always memorable.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
