By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens with a sharp, peppery spark that adds an immediate fresh-spicy kick to the floral heart. Jasmine and rose quickly merge, creating a lush floral core that feels both romantic and slightly green from the pepper’s influence. Amber provides a warm, resinous base that envelops the florals in a soft, golden glow, while patchouli adds an earthy depth that prevents excessive sweetness. Musk ties everything together with a clean, skin-close warmth that ensures the fragrance remains wearable and sophisticated. The composition evolves noticeably, starting spicy and bright before settling into a warm, floral-amber dry-down. Projection is strong initially but recedes to a moderate radius within two hours. Longevity extends beyond eight hours, making it versatile for evening or formal occasions in cooler seasons.
