By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens with a sharp, piquant warmth that is immediately stimulating and aromatic. Lavender and rosemary introduce a herbal, slightly camphorous quality that blends seamlessly with the peppery top note. Patchouli forms the core of the heart, earthy and slightly sweet, providing depth and continuity. Vetiver adds a dry, rooty character in the base, while amber and vanilla lend a soft, resinous sweetness that rounds out the composition. The scent evolves from spicy-aromatic to earthy-woody, maintaining a consistent warmth throughout its wear. Projection is moderate initially but becomes more intimate over time, with solid longevity. Well-suited for cool weather and casual or outdoor occasions.
