What does Un Poivre smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer not far behind. It is chosen most for leisure, daily wear and work. Though unisex, voters lean towards reading it as masculine.

It opens with Indian black pepper, French caraway and Indian pink pepper, a spicy, fresh start. In the heart, Ceylonese cinnamon, Madagascan ginger and Egyptian violet leaf absolute add a green, slightly sharp edge. Haitian vetiver and Indian amyris in the base leave a woody, earthy, faintly smoky finish.
