Spicy

Red pepper smells nothing like you'd expect if you've only tasted it. Rather than burning heat, it's a warm, slightly dry spice with a fruity undertone—imagine the sharp, peppery bite of freshly cracked black pepper married with the bright, almost citric snap of paprika. There's an aromatic, almost herbaceous quality beneath; it's peppery without aggression, more like the warming tingle you feel in your chest after inhaling the aroma of a spiced curry, or crushing fresh red peppercorns between your fingers and breathing in that pungent, almost sweet vapour.

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.
