    • Sweet and Heady: A rich and intoxicating sweetness, like jasmine or tuberose. These notes have a more intense aroma. These notes can be described as heady and musky.
    • Spicy and Powdery: Certain floral notes have a touch of spice or a powdery undertone such as carnation, ylang-ylang, and iris.

    Fruity Allure: Juicy fruits like berries, cherries, and peaches.

    • Electric and Clean: The crisp air after a storm. They often have a slightly ozonic quality, reminiscent of fresh air charged with electricity.
