Complex blend of peppercorns with a realistic raspberry note
I'm almost through all of my Superfumista fragrances from my discovery set. I've been having a lot of fun discovering niche scents that really are different from what I'm accustomed to. I was pretty wary of this one since peppercorns do tend to come out magnified on my skin, but I was pretty confident Benjamin Sachs knew what he was doing (afterall, I've been testing a few of his perfumes these last days).

I get a nice blast of fresh and uplifting bergamot as soon as the perfume lands on my skin. Doesn't take long though before peppercorns and raspeberries arrive. I've got to say the raspberry in here is the most photorealistic one I've smelled up until now. I find raspberries are rather hard to emulate in perfumery as they're often too tart, too sweet and almost always synthetic to the nose. This one smells like raspberries freshly picked from the field. Slightly sweet, but with some subtle tartness and lovely freshness. Peppercorns are very well blended here. They aren't overwhelming, but lend a nice, deep and complex spiciness to the perfume. I can't make out every different peppercorn here, but they're gentle and well-behaved. They also remarquably fit in well with the raspberry note. As it moves on, peppercorns turn to woodiness while raspberries move to the background, lending a sweet fruity vibe to everything. The drydown is warm like a hug thanks to the cashmeran and sweet with a relaxing woody note that brings everything together.

I'll definitely be testing this one out again as the raspberry note and the peppercorn have positively surprised me. I don,t know if I'll be going for a full bottle, but I've got to admit I'm amazed at how Sachs combined all these notes together to form a great, cohesive scent. A must-try for sure!

Beautiful - New Favorite
I saw a write up about Poivre Rubis here on the site and went immediately to order a sample.

I love pepper based perfumes and the pepper heavy profile with raspberry seemed intriguing.

I'm so glad I ordered the sample - it's even better than I expected. The pepper notes are complex with so many in the mix, and the raspberry soars and lingers. Projection was strong but inoffensive and the staying power saw me through a day at class into a late evening dinner. I don't often receive compliments on my fragrance but I had several people throughout the day ask what I was wearing - Poivre Rubis stands out!

Beyond raving about the scent - I was struck that perfumer Benjamin Sachs took the time to send a hand written card along with the sample. World class!

Will be buying the full bottle and more samples from this house. Don't sleep on Mr. Sachs creations!

Complex shades of peppercorns and, among those, photorealistic raspberries. Fresh, fruity and spicy: less harsh than what notes suggest.

Berry and a bit sweet, but in moderation. I can smell the pepper well and for me it's perfectly peppered: not too little, not too much.

The opening is surprisingly resinous and woody. Almost as if a hint of cedar has mixed in with the peppery notes.

Very spicy at first, then it dries down to a sweet (raspberry) scent, more suitable for women.

A bit disappointing for SF, pepper is very subtle despite being mentioned 4 times, overall a rather simple fresh, berry scent for everyday use.
