Cuore di Pepe Nero / Black Pepper

Erbario Toscano

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Erbario Toscano Cuore di Pepe Nero / Black Pepper is a unisex scent that pairs bright citrus freshness with spice, flowers and earth. Grapefruit, orange and lemon open it up, softened by rose hip. In the heart, black pepper and cedarwood lead, while magnolia and jasmine add a gentle floral touch. Vetiver, patchouli, tree moss and amber carry it down into an earthy, resinous base, with green and sweet shades running throughout. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter chosen less often. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Eau de Magnolia and Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza have a close profile.

Vaniglia Piccante / Spicy Vanilla

8.1

Erbario Toscano

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Erbario Toscano Vaniglia Piccante / Spicy Vanilla is a unisex oriental that balances the sweetness of Bourbon vanilla, Siam benzoin and caramel with spice and wood. It opens with amber, Bourbon vanilla, Siam benzoin and white musk, a warm, resinous sweetness. In the heart, peach blossom softens that sweetness while Indian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli and Texas cedar give it a woody footing. The base keeps caramel and nutmeg in play, and French thyme and Chinese eucalyptus add a light freshness. Voters find both the longevity and the sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. With its sweet, spicy and resinous build, it suits anyone who wants a warm, full scent, and it reads equally well on men and women. Sireta Collection Ambra & Vaniglia and Givenchy Ambre Tigré have a close profile.

Salis

6.3

Erbario Toscano · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Erbario Toscano Salis opens with everlasting flower, Mediterranean myrtle and seagrass, giving a fresh, green unisex scent. The opening is led by these three notes, with citrus and aquatic accords keeping it bright and lightly salty. In the heart, thyme brings a spicy, herbal edge while chamomile softens the floral side. As it dries down, patchouli, musk, vanilla and cedarwood settle it onto a woody, slightly sweet base, though the freshness stays present in the background. The overall impression is green, clean and a little synthetic.
