What does Piper Nigrum smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. Voters lean masculine, though it works on anyone.

It opens with green notes, dill, citrus and coniferous woods, while aniseed, fennel and peppermint keep it fresh and herbal. In the heart, black pepper, nutmeg, rosemary and clove leaf bring the spice forward. The base of benzoin, myrrh, Atlas cedar and amber settles into a warm, woody, resinous dry-down.
