By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and pink pepper crackle open the scent with a dry, woody heat that immediately scorches the rose. Damask rose enters next, its petals bruised and jammy, the doubled rose concentration amplifying both honeyed sweetness and sour-green stem undertones so the flower feels almost meaty. Civet slides underneath early, adding a warm, almost urinous fur note that clings to the bloom rather than overwhelming it, while vetiver in the base keeps the finish lean, smoky and slightly bitter. Over two hours the peppers recede, letting the rose absorb the civet’s animalic dust until the composition smells like velvet soaked in sweat and lipstick wax. Projection stays within arm’s length, perfect for cool autumn evenings or intimate dinners where you want intrigue without announcement.
