By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens dry and slightly fiery, peppered with no soft citrus or fruit to cushion it. The first impression is dark and serious from the start.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris and rose unfurl in the heart, a dense and slightly aldehydic bouquet that reads vintage rather than modern. The flowers are powdery and adult, the iris adding a cool grey-blue thread through the warmer petals, with no candy or fruit anywhere in the composition.
Sandalwood, incense, myrrh, labdanum, patchouli and cedar pool at the base, smoky and balsamic with the musk adding skin warmth. Overall character is opulent and old-world, a smoky-floral oriental for cold evenings, projecting strongly and lasting long as a resinous, slightly animalic veil.
