The scent of spice

Migrated topic.

Extracted DMT has a peculiar smell to it, rather unique in fact. While I'd have no problem in the kitchen or wine cellar describing some delightful food or wine scent.
Wines usually have analogies like " Old Oak" "Blackberry" " With a whisp of burnt toffee" " Rich Plum undertones with a tanic finish'

I'm no expert on wines but can usually get were the experts are coming from on this. Spice's scent leaves me pondering in vain for some romantic analogies.
The best my limited faculties can do is " Sauer Kraut with a faint peppering of crushed mothball" ( but I know I'm missing something crucial here)

Surely someone can do better than this ?

The scent of nice pure white spice reminds me of flowers - maybe jasmine - with a hint of cinnamon. It's very pleasant and mild.

(If it smells like mothballs and sauer kraut, maybe you need to re-x? )

Ah yes, these descriptions would make any oeneologist proud.

Cheers

Obviously my technique is a bit off. ( still works though)
 
Gibran2 is right on with pure spice smelling of flowers, and Actualfactual is exactly right regarding spice that could use a re-x or two. I'd also add that spice needing a re-x smells like a nursing home/old people (not trying to be mean, i love old people :)).

this for sure. to me it smells almost identical to this spray-on shoe protector i bought one time at foot locker. I had the spray years ago, way before i even knew what dmt was. but as soon as i smelled dmt for the first time, that was exactly it.
 
To me it smells like new fresh plastic, with a hint of flowery sweetness and a slight spice on the finish. ;)
I'm a scotch drinker BTW, so I know all of the romantic analogies that can be used to describe scents and aromas of fine spirits, wines, beer etc.

Smoked spice smells like bad morning breath though.

At proper vaporization temperatures(At least with GVG) leftover spice in the pipe smells just as normal spice, pretty much. Although if you talk about the smell of combusted spice, I'm sure it smells horrible.

Ever since I smelled it the first time, I said it was smell of flowers... Something like syringa and jasmine, with a hint of something more spicy.

I've also noticed how pure white spice has much milder smell than yellow/orange spice.
And I always recommend redissolving in acetone to make sure any possible trapped naphtha will evaporate.

If your spice smells unpleasant, I recommend giving it some fresh air for 24 hours and/or redissolving in acetone, or recrystallization.

I've not worked with xtal much just enhanced leaf and changa mainly so I just tap it with the flame and boy it stinks!
I wonder if truely vaping would enhance my experiences?
 
The only pure crystals I have ever had were these golden-yellow beauts and they smelled JUST like new shoes! Every time I go into a shoe store my heart does a little flutter...

I wouldn't like to inhale smoke for my hyperspace access at least... Vaporizing is so smooth and effective that I would not go any other way about it.
