When I first started smoking a pipe, I was also trying to look for aromatics that "taste like they are titled" and have "taste that they are supposed to have". I was greatly disappointed, and eventually have understood that Vanilla ice-cream and Vanilla pudding tastes more Vanilla, then how a tobacco blend can taste like Vanilla - and of course one can drink a cup of Espresso and sip some real Whiskey. All decent aromatics pipe tobaccos taste mostly tobacco, while Hookah / Shisha tobaccos are super mild and taste just the flavor.
Stanwell Melange has a consistent solid presence of aromatics flavor throughout the bowl. If you also enjoy high quality Virginia and Cavendish I highly recommend blends from W.O. Larsen, e.g. Belle époque and Indigo. Tobaccoreviews.com entries for W.O. Larsen's blend do not truly do justice for the quality of their tobacco. For example, when Belle époque was repacked and remarketed as Peterson's 2015 St. Patrick's Day blend, all people were eager to try it out and most of them gave it a 4 stars.
