Floral

Rosa centifolia smells like walking into a garden on a dewy morning after rain. It's honeyed and velvety, with a soft fruitiness—reminiscent of ripe plums and candied rose petals—wrapped in creamy, almost powdery warmth. Unlike the sharper brightness of some roses, centifolia feels lush and indulgent, like burying your face in velvet fabric that's been scented with honey and a whisper of green stems. There's a gentle spiciness underneath, faintly reminiscent of clove or dried rose hips.

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.
