SmokyWhat does Black Pepper & Cedarwood smell like?
The scent reads as a whole: black pepper and cedar lead, while rose stays in the background and softens the dry edge. Citrus gives it a bright start and a sweet note balances the spice. Resinous, earthy and leathery touches add an oriental depth, and the smoky accord pulls it towards a darker, drier finish. Carven Paris La Havane and Davidoff Leather Blend have a close profile.
