What does Re-Charge Black Pepper (2014) / Black Peppercorn (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Lemon, black pepper and ginger give it a sharp, lively start. In the heart, violet leaf, basil and coriander add a green touch. Vetiver, ambergris and oakmoss anchor it in a dry, woody base, while the citrus and green accords stay noticeable throughout.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine. Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey and Davidoff Champion have a close profile.
