a lit match in hell
Poivre Sacre is a gorgeously dry scent: the bitter, bracing bite of black pepper that somehow runs both cool and hot, leathery, smoky woods that feel like a cross between palo santo and cedar, and hints of grassy, earthy, bittersweet saffron and the tiniest dash of sour, pungent cumin, to keep things interesting. This is a very close-to-the-skin scent that makes me think of candle flames, shadows, and secrets, chasing the darkness to its depths, following a temptation –without succumbing– straight to its sinful, sulfurous source. And you, softly glowing, incandescent, a lit match in hell.
