What does 1: Alkemist Pepper / Alkemist 1758 smell like?

Cade juniper and pepper give it a spicy, smoky spine, while elemi resin and styrax soften that line with resinous warmth. Cistus, patchouli and vetiver form a dry, woody base, and petitgrain and violet add a green, lightly floral freshness. As a whole it smells dry and serious, with sweetness staying in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though only a small number of votes stand behind this. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone. Chapel Factory Heresy and Arte Profumi Ecclesiæ have a close profile.
