Black pepper meets lavender and bergamot right away, a sharp and slightly cool opening that soon gives way to orris and patchouli in the heart. The finish is where it gets interesting, a black vanilla base with balsamic notes that reads dark and a touch sweet without tipping into gourmand territory.
Wear this on winter nights or anywhere you want a confident, grown-up scent. It holds close for the first couple of hours before the vanilla base opens up and carries through the rest of the evening.
