Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate sillage and clean, natural aroma make it perfect for everyday casual wear and office environments, as it's unlikely to offend. While it has an elegant touch, it's not potent enough for formal events, and the gentle freshness could suit light activity.

About

Pepe Rosa opens with a bright spark of pink pepper, softened by a gentle mandarin and bergamot, leading into a heart where creamy orange blossom takes centre stage. Lavender and a hint of coriander add an aromatic, herbal cleanliness, before settling into a comforting base of smooth sandalwood and earthy cedar. It's fresh, but not in a sharp citrus way; more of a natural, clean floral. Some even catch a hint of vanilla sweetness.
