Pepper opens with a spicy note at the top. In the heart, iris and orange blossom bring a floral, powdery softness. Cedar and ambrette form a woody base, while the synthetic accord gives the scent a clean, smooth feel.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is classified as a men's fragrance. Marlou Corpalium and Parfums de Marly Galloway have a close note and accord profile.
