Spicy

Spices smell warm, peppery, and slightly sweet—imagine biting into a cinnamon stick or crushing cardamom pods between your teeth. There's a tingling, almost numbing quality that makes your mouth water, combined with earthy undertones. Picture walking into a spice market: that complex blend of clove's sharp bite, nutmeg's creamy warmth, and black pepper's sharp sting. It's comforting yet commanding, never subtle.

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.
