Welcome to the Pepper Hell
The moment I first experienced this scent on my skin is something I will never forget. It was one of the first oud fragrances (when I still didn’t know what that really smelled like), and I approached this test with a certain naivety that I would soon regret.
At first, the scent strikes me as somewhat oriental, something I couldn’t quite grasp. After a few minutes, I am hit with a wave of ink, darkness, and burnt rubber. Strangely, the longevity on my skin was not outstanding at all, but I couldn’t wash it off my clothes. It was just overpowering pepper! The jacket went into the wash three or four times, and eventually, it faded away. I encountered this note again later, and it triggers a kind of flight reflex in me.
For me personally, there was no development, which I always find very disappointing. In the first few minutes, it changes a bit, but after that, it was completely linear for me. What a shame.
My rating:
Joy: 0 out of 30
Quality, depth, liveliness: 8 out of 30
Longevity: 9 out of 20 (on the skin)
Wearability: 0 out of 10
Bottle, packaging, presentation: 9 out of 10
Total: 26 out of 100
