What does Poivre Electrique smell like?

It lasts well and projects moderately, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Voters lean towards fall and spring, and towards leisure, business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though no side is a clear majority.

It opens with Chinese pink pepper, Tunisian bitte orange and Vietnamese black pepper, peppery and citrusy. Turkish rose absolute and Uzbek frankincense then add a resinous softness, and Virginia cedar and New Caledonian sandalwood keep the base woody and smoky.
