By the editors · 2 min readScarlet opens with pink pepper — a crisp, slightly fruity spice that reads bright without crossing into sweetness. The pepper here carries its characteristic berry-tinged warmth rather than the dry heat of black pepper.
Labdanum, vanilla, and patchouli anchor the base in warm, resinous territory. Labdanum adds a dark, leathery-cistus quality; patchouli brings depth and earthiness; vanilla softens toward sweetness without becoming gourmand. Together they create a dense, ambery warmth underneath the spiced opening.
Scarlet is a compact but effective structure — peppery brightness over dark resin. It wears well in the evening and into cooler months, when the base's weight becomes an asset.
