About

Peppercorn opens with a vibrant, punchy kick of pink pepper and fresh geranium, immediately commanding attention. As it settles, a warm, woody heart of cedar and spiced clove emerges, softened by a touch of creamy vanilla. The drydown deepens into a rich, resinous amber and musk base, with patchouli, smoky incense, and a hint of styrax maintaining that edgy, aromatic zing. It's a complex journey from spicy freshness to deep, sensual warmth.
