What does Black Pepper | Cashmere | Lemonwood smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters find it wearable in every season, with autumn and spring slightly ahead. It reads masculine.

The top opens fruity and fresh with tangerine, pineapple, lemon and grapefruit. Black pepper, cardamom and lavender bring a spicy warmth through the heart. The base settles on patchouli, cedarwood and cashmere, giving it a woody, earthy and faintly leathery footing, with a sweet, synthetic edge in the background.
