CreamyWhat does Poivre Piquant smell like?
Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring close behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Votes on whether it reads feminine or masculine are almost evenly split.
The top is white, black and pink pepper, giving a dry, sharp spice at the start. In the heart, cinnamon, beeswax and liquorice sweeten that edge. The base of myrrh, honey, vanilla and sandalwood settles into a creamy, warm, woody softness.
