Le Labo Poivre 23 London is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Nathalie Lorson. Poivre 23 London settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, and Pepper. Le Labo's Poivre 23 London carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A truly unique pepper-forward amber, Poivre 23 is divisive but often adored. It's smoky, spicy, and sweet - a sophisticated take on warmth that some find intoxicatingly mysterious, while others simply smell body odour or bubblegum.

About

Imagine a rich, dark amber swirling with a prominent, almost biting black pepper. This gives way to a smoky, resinous core of incense and labdanum, deepened by earthy patchouli and guaiac wood. A creamy, subtly sweet vanilla lingers beneath, smoothing the edges of the initial spice and smokiness for a scent that's both robust and comforting.
