Spicy

Sri Lankan cardamom smells like opening a spice jar at an Indian restaurant—warm, peppery, and slightly sweet, with an almost minty coolness underneath. Imagine biting into a cardamom pod: you get that creamy, slightly resinous warmth mixed with a sharp, almost eucalyptus-like freshness. There's a subtle floral whisper beneath the spice, like dried rose petals warming in the sun. It's aromatic without being harsh, comforting yet distinctly exotic.

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.
