By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens with a sharp, dry spice that quickly settles into a warm background hum. Tuberose and lily dominate the heart, their creamy white floral richness deepened by narcotic heliotrope powder. Narcissus adds a green, almost bitter counterpoint to the sweet floral core. Sandalwood and patchouli form a woody, earthy base that grounds the composition with a soft, musky dry-down. The scent evolves from spicy-bright to a powdery, resinous floral over several hours. Projection is moderate with good longevity, best for cool weather evenings and formal occasions.
