Make a fragrance from a name (game)

(Not sure where this belongs, so forgive me if it's not here, or if it's been done before...)

I was inspired by another thread, and thought this would be a fun game. So, one person gives a name of a fragrance (a made up name if at all possible), and the person below them composes a fragrance to go along with the name. It can be as crazy or as serious as you want, just have fun with it.

If you'd like, use this template:

Top:
Middle:
Base:

------------------
Example-
Person 1 names "Snap-Dragon"

Person 2 thinks, and says: Snap-Dragon, so it could be green and spicy...

Top:Wormwood, mint, cedar
Middle: Vetiver, black pepper
Base: Incense, Amber, Leather
-----------------

So, let's start.

I name: Black Glacier
