A sensational perfume! Designed to evoke thoughts and visions of a wedding story from the Kama Sutra where a bride's veil was sprinkled with sugar and pepper, Poivre PIquant translates loosely to hot pepper. The head of the fragrance is a clear, concentrated white pepper note, which is in fact slightly hot to the nose when smelled. Pepper is a favorite note of ours, with its herbaceous spice, at once powerfully masculine and sensually feminine, but it's what happens beyond the initial pepper punch in Poivre Piquant that has us excited. As both sugar and pepper were sprinkled on the bride's veil, in Poivre, behind the white pepper note is a soft, luxurious bed of milk and honey. The soft yet firm nature of milk along with the syrupy, slow-moving sweetness of honey create the perfect foundation for white pepper to rest on, veering away from the overt, intense nature of the pepper and balancing it out into something extravagant and suitable for all occasions. The addition of a pinch of licorice to this perfume tips it into being a phenomenal unisex fragrance for the later hours of the day and on into the night. Familiar yet strange, Poivre Piquant is a triumphant combination of pepper, milk, and honey that you won't want to stop smelling.
