What does Piment Brûlant smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend fall and spring, and it is chosen mostly for leisure, daytime and office wear. It is labelled a women's fragrance, yet a good share of character votes call it masculine.

The top notes, green chili and chili leaf, give it a fresh, green bite. Towards the heart, clove, poppy and red chili bring out the spice and a floral side. In the base, tonka bean, cocoa bean and Bourbon vanilla sweeten and soften it, leaving a woody ground.
