@Camille Blake Yes just keep tasting. But also look for the flavors in the real world. Minerality/flint is tough but I would go outside when it rains and look for something rocky (driveway, pavers in your lawn, etc.) and smell it. Same with turned soil, nutmeg.

I have had a gooseberry but same as you only because people kept talking about it for SB. I put in pavers in my yard and (not kidding) smelled them after the rain once to get the stone/minerality thing. But I have no idea what an orange blossom smells like lol. I will throw that into notes where I think it makes sense but total guess. Same with tomato leaf. Not even 100% sure what that is if we're being honest.
