What does Accord No. 05: White Pepper smell like?

Dry spice forms the backbone here: white pepper, pink pepper and clove. Patchouli, frankincense and myrrh lay a resinous, smoky floor beneath it, while tobacco and oakmoss add a leathery depth. Tangerine and bergamot lift the heavier texture a little.

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring also named. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. PantaRei Darwish and Amouage Interlude 53 have a close profile.
