What does Intense Pepper smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Most voters call it masculine, though a fair number read it as feminine.

Madagascar pepper and Peruvian pink pepper open sharp and spicy, with a citrus freshness alongside. Floral notes in the heart soften the edge, and amber, cedarwood and Malayan oud leave a warm, woody trail. A synthetic side is part of the accord mix too.
