What does Pistil Whip (2015) smell like?

Longevity and sillage both rate as moderate, though from only a few votes. With no gender lean, it can be worn by anyone.

It opens with pink pepper and bergamot, then moves to a creamy floral heart of tiaré, tuberose and carnation absolute. Vetiver and Lapsang Souchong tea form a woody base underneath. The overall feel shifts between green and sweet, with spice in the background. Heretic Pistil Whip (2022) and Alexandre.J Butterfly have a close profile.
