Korres Mountain Pepper is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. Mountain Pepper opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Pepper, Rosemary, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. Korres's Mountain Pepper carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A modern take on a classic barbershop vibe that smells more expensive than it is. It's a fresh, masculine scent that's easy to wear daily, if arguably a bit subtle for some.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

This one kicks off with a zesty burst of bergamot and orange, quickly giving way to an aromatic heart of peppery spice, herbal sage, and rosemary. The base settles into a clean, musky oakmoss embrace, lending a sophisticated earthiness that lingers subtly on the skin.
