Fresh

Acridity is sharp, almost aggressive freshness—imagine biting into unripe citrus peel or the piercing green snap of crushed grass after rain. It's not sweet or juicy; instead, it carries a slight metallic, almost peppery bite that catches the back of your throat pleasantly. Think of walking through a garden where herbs have just been bruised underfoot, releasing that raw, almost astringent green volatility. It's confrontational in the best way: bracing rather than comforting.

Smoky & Earthy

Tobacco smells like a warm, slightly sweet haze—imagine walking past a cigar lounge on a cool evening. It's earthy and rich, with subtle leather undertones and a hint of dried hay. There's an almost vanilla-like sweetness beneath the initial smoky harshness, reminiscent of opening a tin of premium pipe tobacco or the interior of a well-aged leather armchair. It's neither acrid nor unpleasant; rather, it's a sophisticated, slightly intoxicating warmth that lingers on your skin like memory.
