What does Peony & Peppercorn smell like?

Bergamot and pink pepper come first, fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy. In the heart, pink peony, plum and rose take over, with the plum softening the floral side. Musk and cashmere wood settle underneath, leaving a creamy, clean base, with a slightly synthetic edge among the accords.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the vote counts are small, so those ratings are tentative. It reads equally well on men and women and suits everyday wear. Voters rate its value for money highly.
