Lorenzo Villoresi Piper Nigrum is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1999, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Piper Nigrum opens with Citrus, Green, Star Anise, and Fennel, settles into a heart of Oregano, Spicy, Petitgrain, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Cedar, and Benzoin. Lorenzo Villoresi's Piper Nigrum carries a Statement verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Divisive and utterly unique, Piper Nigrum is a spicy rollercoaster. You'll either adore its eccentric journey from medicinal balm to comforting spice, or find it overwhelmingly chaotic. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but addictive for those who get it.

About

Piper Nigrum launches with a potent blast of fresh mint, sharp citruses, and green notes, quickly tempered by an overwhelming medley of spices. Black pepper, star anise, and clove dominate, creating a camphor-like opening that some find medicinal. This intense beginning smooths into a warm, aromatic heart of nutmeg, oregano, and olibanum, eventually settling into a cozy, balsamic drydown of myrrh, benzoin, and cedar, softened by amber. It's a journey from invigorating spice to resinous warmth.
