Cola pop rocks. Cola scent that starts very effervescent, fresh and tart. I may be way off base but has a light pear scent in the beginning too. Then it dries down into a classic ramune flavor that’s more sweet and warm.

Like a root beer float with an old timey root beer that’s more herby sarsaparilla/sassafras, aged in an old bourbon barrel, and comes in a curvy glass bottle at the local soda shop counter. Not artificial root beer flavor. Great balance between sweet and herb. Smells very “real.”

Big explosion of indolic tuberose or night jasmine - like moments after a full bloom on a humid night when there is just a bit of brown spoilt edges around the white petals. Very intoxicating. Then after that wave of floral, it leaves behind a clean scent that's reminiscent of, strangely, drier sheets in a more natural and soft form. Beautiful transition.

I REALLY like this. Not cleaner lemon but more aromatic lemon. For me, there is a huge nutty sweet corn note, and it’s quite delicious. Kind of like the sweet corn mash you get at Chevy’s. Or some sort of sweet corn dessert that I’m used to growing up in Asia.

Creamy amber made more youthful and light with the pop of lotus. And strange to say, it really smells like the briny freshness of oysters even though I am not the biggest fan of eating oysters - more like the brightness of the shell rather than of the oyster flesh. I"m a big fan of Zoologist's Squid and this is like its younger sister. Really unlike anything I've smelled before. Super unique.

Hay Moon takes me to a place where plants are golden. They’re no longer green from spring, and no longer floral from the height of summer, but now they are golden right before fall. It’s foodie-adjacent but not like an imitation. Oatcakes is very apt because to me, the foodie aspect completely reminds me of British digestive cookies.
