Comme des Garçons / Blackpepper
Do you like the sharp, dry and peppery scent? And you like the smell of dry wood, conifers (cedar) lined with patchouli? Then mix it all together, add some oud and add a handful of pepper, whatever ... don't regret it, give it 2 handfuls ... stir and let it shake.
Then squeeze, pour the extract into a bottle and pour the spirit into it.
Before closing, you can also cast a spell ... such as "let it turn your nose when you spray it". Necessarily over the left shoulder. Set aside in a dark cellar, it is very important that it is very cold.
And so after half a year, when you take out a dark, beautiful bottle and in silence you spray this magic elixir - you will hear a loud "bless you" from the next room ... unless someone familiar and close throws you - "fortunately that you ... no crashed ".
A great smell, it is worth having and trying. I have and will have in my ... my basement ;-)

Wish that black pepper note lasted....
A few things bug me about Blackpepper – it stresses out my Spellcheck, it has zero longevity, and it references its big brother Black a little too openly – and yet, one whiff of that perfectly-rendered black pepper note in the opening sequence and I am ready to forgive it anything.

It’s a show that lasts barely 20 minutes, but in that time, you get hit with all the most exciting facets of black pepper, ranging from that weird lemon peel screech at the top, the pungent oiliness, the dusty engine oil aspect, and the sappy licorice note underpinning everything. It’s also bone dry, in that elegantly sooty way of Black, which makes it a perfect spice fragrance with which to fight damp undershirt syndrome on a humid night. Just spray, spray, and re-spray to keep the oily black pepper exploding over and over again.

Fragrant wood ashes
Smoky dry pepper. Ashes from the fire. Sweet woods. Something else vaguely nostalgic and expensive. Like a fully wooden room at a rich household with an open fireplace in the middle. Questionable design choice, but you have to admit that it smells like heaven in there.

A fun scent, nonchalant and full of quiet confidence. Soft sillage with a strong presence. Created a smoky aura in my immediate vicinity that lasted around ~3 hours. Settled on skin afterwards.

The last remnants of smoke dissipated over the next ~2 hours, leaving me with just the soft pliable woods and a gentle musky sweetness. Those clung to my skin way into the night. A quiet kind of luxury. Great for colder parts of the year, but could also easily fit right into a campfire outing on chilly summer night.

Not a scent I would wear often, but one I'm happy to own.

Ecstatic sneezing followed by hot forest eroticism.
At the opening I always have to sneeze but it's worth getting the handkerchief out, because what follows is an extraordinarily erotic, hot, all senses stimulating scent. If the pepper combines with the high quality woods and musk with sweet Tonka is added, then I can only say: Holladiewaldfee... if I meet a man with this scent, then (*******ZENSIERT**********

TOP peppery wood scent!
When "Bang" was unfortunately discontinued by Marc Jacobs a few years ago, I was looking for a replacement of at least equal value. I was recommended "Black Pepper" by Comme des Garcons with the remark that this fragrance is a bit more complex and would not have the weaknesses of "Bang".

To 90% both scents smell identical, whereby "Black Pepper" actually seems to be a little more complex, i.e. reveals a little more than a pure pepper scent. By the way, both fragrances use the artificial "Pepperwood" created by Givaudan, a captive. Not many fragrances use this unique ingredient, and in combination with other substances such as cedar, musk, very little patchouli and tonka bean, the result is a wonderfully peppery-woody scent that is unparalleled, but not found!

Unfortunately, one has to add after a few hours and the Sillage is also to be classified as rather discreet, but the overall verdict is absolutely positive!

Opens with realistic pepper. Dry down reminds me of a winter pantry. Vegetal, spicy, woody and cold. Weirdly cosy, but not in a "happy" way.

Apart from the first 15 mins (that do exactly what it says on the box) this is a solid contemporary masculine all-rounder. Poor projection.

Pepper, pepper, pepper. You might even use it for seasoning. Too one-dimensional and sharp for my taste.

not liking pepper, here a large dose (obviously) but well dosed and very elegant. Versatile

Culinary peppery opening that isn't repulsively spicy or sneeze-inducing, dries down to a sibilant musk that lies close to the skin. Easy!

If you have never used freshly ground pepper you do not really know what pepper smells. This is the best black pepper scent I've ever smelt!

The peppery note is very noticeable and the sillage is quite good. Unfortunately the design bottle, although refined, is uncomfortable

Initial pepper charge is the most interesting. Then- a bit of everything: dry woods, CdG synthetics, a pinch of smoke. Sometwhat indecisive.
