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.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
