Fresh

Salty notes smell like the sharp, mineral-laden air of a coastal cliff face after a storm—that clean, slightly briny quality that catches in your nostrils. Imagine the metallic tang of sea spray mixed with ozone and wet stone, or the dry, salty residue left on your skin after swimming in the ocean. It's crisp and slightly savoury, almost peppery at times, with an arid quality reminiscent of salt crystallised on sun-baked rocks. There's nothing sweet about it; instead, it's refreshingly austere and oddly comforting.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
