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.

Floral

Violet smells like powdered sweetness with an almost creamy, slightly spicy undertone—imagine the delicate petals of a garden violet crushed between your fingers, mixed with a hint of almond and dry hay. It's softer than a rose, with a whisper of green leafiness beneath. There's something almost edible about it, reminiscent of violet sweets or the faint perfume of talcum powder. The scent is gentle and nostalgic, neither purely floral nor purely sweet, creating an impression that's both aristocratic and intimate.
