Allspice
Crushing the leaves of this plant produces one of the most inviting and intense aromas imaginable. Most people have used the berries but few are aware that the leaves can be used to the same effect, because they are usually unavailable. You must smell fresh allspice to appreciate it. The common name "Allspice" was coined by the English because the leaves and fruit seem to be a wonderful combination of Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
