Scarlet is the spiciest stick in the Indonesian range. Indonesian clove meets cinnamon, with red fruit sitting between them to keep the spice from running dry.
Two spices in one stick is unusual and it works because they pull in different directions. Clove is warm and slightly numbing, cinnamon is sharper and drier, and the red fruit bridges them.
IQOS describes it as a balance of Indonesian fruit and clove, and that is accurate. Sweetness stays low, with the fruit contributing shape rather than sugar.
The most distinctive thing this market makes. Auburn is the gentler introduction to clove, Golden the smoother one.
