Green

Spearmint smells like biting into a fresh mint leaf, but gentler and sweeter than peppermint's sharp bite. Imagine the cool, herbaceous green of a garden after rain, with an almost creamy sweetness underneath—rather like the flavour of chewing gum or toothpaste, but as a pure scent. It's crisp and invigorating, with a slightly waxy, almost candied quality that feels both refreshing and approachable. The aroma is bright without being aggressive, making it smell surprisingly pleasant and sophisticated when used thoughtfully in perfume.

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.
