Stimulatingly Different
The Timur pepper, referred to here as Nepalese Sichuan pepper, is a subspecies of Sichuan pepper that is mostly cultivated in China. The Timur pepper is not related to true pepper but to citrus plants. The berries are hand-harvested in Nepal at an altitude of 2000 meters from the thorny, wild-growing plants that can reach up to 10 meters in height. Its spiciness is milder than that of regular Sichuan pepper, but its aromas are citrusy, woody, slightly sour, grapefruit-like, and somewhat herbal. Therefore, Timur pepper is often referred to as lemon or grapefruit pepper. Its effect is described as stimulating.

I could end the description of the perfume here, as the main ingredient of Timur is the eponymous pepper. However, I will continue, as the other notes do play a significant role ;-)

Timur opens citrusy-fresh with the slight acidity of grapefruit and a subtle spiciness. After a while, the grapefruit becomes more pronounced, and the citrus notes recede a bit. This phase surprisingly lasts quite long for this type of fragrance. Later, lavender joins the grapefruit, and the first woody notes become noticeable.
The base consists of vetiver with a hint of patchouli and a touch of amber, which adds more depth to the fragrance, making it slightly herbaceous while never losing its freshness.

The longevity is very good for a fragrance of this type, with a moderate sillage.

Conclusion: Timur is different ;-) I would dare to call this a fragrance experience. The aromas of Timur pepper harmonize in a unique way that is not often found. The interplay of citrusy, woody, and sour notes is enjoyable, lifts the mood, and is indeed stimulating.

Szechuan pepper hits hard
the grapefruit sinks sneezing into the lavender

A refined refreshment for a hot day.
Beautiful, subtly aquatic, fresh-spicy,
light-floral scent blend. Pleasant and wearable.

Solid scent with a citrusy fresh spicy opening; then it develops into a powdery synthetic wood base that ruins the fragrance for me.

Amazingly interesting and beautiful strong herbal-peppery opening. After that, it quickly fades and becomes a nice wood-herb soap.

A beautiful pepper scent with a citrusy start. Flowers take over, but it stays spicy until the end. Well done.
