Spicy

Bourbon pepper smells like biting into a fresh black peppercorn with a distinctly warm, almost sweet undertone—imagine the sharp, biting heat of cracked pepper married to the caramel-tinged richness of vanilla. It's peppery without being harsh; instead of the astringent snap of white pepper, it delivers a full-bodied spice with subtle woody depth and a whisper of alcohol-like warmth. Think of cracked pepper scattered across brown sugar, or the aroma wafting from a spice market on a humid afternoon.

Woody

Musk is the scent of warmth itself—imagine the gentle heat radiating from skin after exercise, mingled with soft suede and a whisper of vanilla. It's deeply intimate rather than floral or sharp; think of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket warmed by the sun, with a faint animalic undertone that's almost imperceptible. Pure musk has a powdery, almost imperceptible sweetness, like the inside of a lover's wrist or the comfort of well-loved fabric. It doesn't announce itself boldly; instead, it envelops and lingers on your skin like a second layer.
