Carolina
Carlos Benaïm and Clement Gavarry construct Carolina around an unusual heart placement: black pepper in the middle of the composition alongside rose and forest fruits, where the spice sits as a structural element rather than an opening gambit.

By the editors · 2 min readCarlos Benaïm and Clement Gavarry construct Carolina around an unusual heart placement: black pepper in the middle of the composition alongside rose and forest fruits, where the spice sits as a structural element rather than an opening gambit. Wild strawberry leaf introduces a green, slightly tart quality in the top before bitter orange and cardamom add zest and warmth. The pepper in the heart against the rose creates a spiced-floral accord that avoids conventional sweetness. Cashmere wood, amber, vanilla, and musk complete the dry-down in a warm, smooth register. A well-calibrated feminine construction that makes smart use of pepper as a structural note.
