Spicy

Angelica root smells like warm spice meets earthy celery, with an almost medicinal undertone that's unexpectedly sensual. Imagine biting into a piece of crystallised ginger, then discovering it's also faintly herbal and slightly bitter—like chewing on the roots of a plant that's been drying in autumn sun. There's a peppery kick underneath, with whispers of musk and something vaguely animalic. It's comforting yet slightly stern, never sweet.

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.
