Spicy

Pimento smells like the inside of a spice jar—warm, slightly sweet, and unmistakably peppery. Imagine biting into an allspice berry (which is what pimento actually is): you get clove-like warmth, a whisper of cinnamon, and black pepper heat, but softer and more rounded than raw black pepper. It's less sharp than it is creamy and almost chocolatey underneath, with a faint fruity sweetness that lingers. It smells like autumn spice cake before it's baked.

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.
