Pepper imperial

Tested at printemps shop cause a boadicea stand.i didn t want to test it cause i dislike vetiver but the seller insisted.

Indeed he has truth it didn t smell vetiver but the pepper it reminds me terrible teddy of walter penhaligon.so i dislike as well.

After 10 minutes patchouli is clearly smelled ,too common for me particulary for a fragrance which coasts 300€.

It s a fragrance which can be good for mature men and for the winter.

The sillage is good and the longevity as well 8 hours.

My reaction to a blind test without knowing the contents of the bottle

Maximum herbal freshness for me in the opening. A very authentic blend of essential oils, rather old-school and smells to me like a health food store with organic fragrance oils. For me, it has something of a luxury cold ointment. I like scents like that, but it's so close to the ointment in the opening that I'm afraid people would ask me if I'm ill. And the oil is so pungent that it almost burns your eyes when you smell it. At the very least, it's a fragrance I would definitely wear if I had a cold because it would really clear my nose. Very masculine, rough, edgy.
After a few minutes, it becomes a little softer, the sharpness from the opening recedes a little, it now becomes a damp coniferous forest. I really like that. Well, the first 15 minutes are quite a lot, almost shocking, but then it calms down again and becomes a great nature and forest fragrance with sauna infusion charm. It also has a nice mossy quality for me. Yes, much better now than at the beginning. I can imagine the fragrance being very good in rainy weather in spring. A walk in nature, the rain dripping from the leaves, moisture in the air. Breathe in deeply and feel the inner peace. The fragrance unfolds beautifully, it really takes on weight. It also reminds me slightly of "Notion" by Spirit of Kings, perhaps because of the eucalyptus-patchouli note? In any case, it accompanies me well through the morning, it is invigorating and refreshing. It smells incredibly natural and real to me, not at all synthetic. Simply a very well-crafted fragrance, unpretentious and clear. Well suited for creative work to clear your head, a mountain hike at the tree line and a morning ritual to greet the day. Longevity is also good, I still have it clearly on my skin, but the fragrance is also very linear, after the first explosion it stayed the same the rest of the time. I would give it an 8/10. Solid and with character, but not a stroke of genius.
