Allspice Scented Candles

What allspice smells like

Allspice is one berry that smells like three spices at once, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg together, with a peppery edge. That makes it the shortcut to a full spice cabinet in a single note. Behind pumpkin and pie crust it reads as dessert. Behind clove and smoky vanilla it reads darker and more like mulled wine. Next to lemon and ginger it lifts and gets brighter. If cinnamon alone is too plain for you, this is the better version.
