Citrus

Sicilian bergamot smells like biting into the bright flesh of a bitter orange—simultaneously zesty and subtly floral. Imagine fresh-cut citrus peel catching afternoon sunlight: sharp, almost peppery top notes give way to a delicate, almost perfumed sweetness underneath. It's more refined than lemon, less sweet than orange, with an intriguing mineral quality and a whisper of florality that makes it feel sophisticated rather than simply fruity. The aroma is distinctly Mediterranean—crisp, energetic, and impossibly fresh.

Oriental

Tolu balm smells like walking into a candlelit room after someone's been baking spiced biscuits. Imagine warm vanilla cream threaded with cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of leather—almost medicinal in its richness, but decidedly comforting. There's an amber-like sweetness that feels honeyed and slightly resinous, with underlying notes reminiscent of old wood or aged parchment. It's the olfactory equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket on an autumn evening.
