I find all tobacco pleasant to smell. Virginias, latakias, whatever I smoke gets compliments... or it may just be an excuse for all of the pretty women to give me a compliment. YMMV
But, I would just smoke whatever I liked. Pipe tobacco smells 100xs better than cigarettes, no matter what blend it is.
Cosmic you have to stop teasing all those women. Before you know it they will want to get familiar with your other pipe.

Pure Virginias that are more towards the bright Virginia end of the spectrum and stoved Virginias both have a very pleasing, "bread baking in the oven" sort of room note. Red Virginias can get a bit cigarette'y, but the bright and stoved ones generally get a positive reaction from the other members of my household. puffy

Some of my favorites I smoke and have had alot of compliments over are, edgeworth ready rub, Prince Albert (my go to on when fishing on my boat), Troost if you can find any, and some really like My Mixture 965...all of these have very pleasant room notes at least according to people that are around me alot and I have smoked all of these in very confined spaces on the boat with no complaints and alot of compliments.

None of my friends smoke, and my children are very vocal about the smells they don’t like from my pipe. Latakia blend seem universally disliked. I’ve had positive comments about my straight Solani Burley Flake and my VaPers don’t cause collective nausea.

How about something like Revelation match (Epiphany) or Walnut (Chestnut)? Those are kitchen sink blends and you'll likely get universal praise and shade in one fell swoop 🤣
