Have you ever smelled your hands?after a pipe or petting your pet....after a hard day at work,Your loved ones .....the sent they leave behind.

Whatever they send to me, I usually make sure is sent, lol, with a good wash.

I'm sure we all notice this or that, but maybe if I've been chopping onions or peeling garlic which is great, otherwise they are what they are but not a source of existential wonder for me, but no judgments. :)

Oh, I'll bite. Since I exclusively smoke outside, and often with a wind, I generally hold the pipe like this:

So my left hand ends up with a little golden-brown staining and that lovely sweet pastry/Cap'n Crunch/graham cracker smell after smoking a Virginia. Love it.

I was on public transit a few years ago and I started snorting snuff. Someone ended up calling the coppers and said I was getting high 🤣 I said mates this is what we snort in the UK and it ain’t drugs, just fine snuff.
Yeah that's the big problem with snuff. Or hand rolled cigs got the cops called on me a few times for that.
But I did have a cop pass me while I was taking snuff and just got my attention and gave me a disappointed headshake and moved on.

If I pet the dogs and my hand has a distinct smell afterwards, I know it's time to give them a bath. As for loved ones, I like to go straight to the source and sniff my wife's head. No need to get the scent on my hand first. Eliminate the middle man.
