It's not a combination - it's an all by itself.

"define: allspice" Lots of links to food encyclopedias and site
glossaries. Interesting.

It's one spice, a pepper-corn-like berry, but it can be
simulated/approximated, with I believe clove, nutmeg and... cinnamon ?

It is not a combination of spices. It is the berry of a West Indies
tree (Pimenta dioica) in the myrtle family. It is called allspice
because its flavor is reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
