By the editors · 2 min readSichuan pepper opens with a tingling, almost numbing brightness — drier and greener than black pepper, with a citrus glint behind the prickle. Lavender takes the heart immediately and stays there, doing the heavy lifting through most of the wear. It's the clean barbershop kind, more groomed than rustic, with the pepper's lift keeping it from settling into cliché. Cedar slides underneath in the dry-down, dry and pencil-shaving, holding the lavender in place without sweetening it. The composition is unusually focused for a flanker — three loud notes arranged in a clear tower, none of the usual aromatic-fougère filler. It wears as an aromatic-spicy in summer, surprisingly intense for an EDT.
