What does Poivre Sacré smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and leisure, night out and evening wear get almost equal shares. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it moves comfortably between the two.

The notes read as one whole: Madagascar pepper, cumin, saffron and nutmeg build the spice, while frankincense, labdanum absolute and patchouli settle it onto a resinous, earthy base. Rose absolute and gaiac wood add a floral, smoky softness, and a sweet, oriental warmth lingers behind.
