By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper, pink pepper, and bergamot open spicy-bright. The peppers carry the entry — peppery and slightly metallic — with bergamot lending a polished citric backbone. The opening reads modern masculine before the rose surprises.
The heart turns into a peppered rose. Raspberry adds a jammy fruity lift, jasmine fills in white-floral creaminess, and rose dominates — dewy and slightly powdered, lifted by the residual spice from the top. The composition pivots from sharp to plush.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk in the base land warm and softly woody. Amber adds resinous golden warmth, sandalwood creamy depth, and musk a clean skin lift. Overall: a peppered fruity-rose with an ambery-woody tail, gender-neutral but leaning feminine, well suited to fall and winter date and evening contexts. Projection is moderate and the drydown sits close.
