what bricks are you crushing mon

maybe it's smell of dust, like what you can smell on dusty unpaved road in summer

Nah it’s specifically when they’re crushed. Not gravel smells, that smells different. You never crushed a rock or a brick?

I have, many times, and I don't think I would describe the smell as "pepper." It is sharp though.
