Bohoboco Vanilla Black Pepper is a Parfum launched in 2016. Vanilla Black Pepper opens with Herbal and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Resins, Rose, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Pepper, and Vanilla. Bohoboco's Vanilla Black Pepper carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a divisive whisper. Some find a fleeting pepper kick followed by a lovely, mellow vanilla. Others are left searching for any spice, finding only a 'clean' vanilla that dissipates far too quickly. It's a skin scent champion, but perhaps not a crowd-pleaser.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vanilla Black Pepper opens with a fleeting, sharp burst of pepper and bright orange blossom that quickly mellows. The heart reveals a soft, powdery heliotrope and subtle rose, entwined with warm, resinous notes. The dry down is a clean, slightly woody vanilla, with a whisper of musk that sits close to the skin, barely retaining the promised spice.
