Timur Phebo

The Timur pepper, here indicated as Nepalese Szechuan pepper, is a subspecies of the Szechuan pepper, which is mostly cultivated in China. The Timur pepper is not related to the pepper, but to the citrus plants. The berries are harvested by hand in Nepal at an altitude of 2000 metres from the up to 10 metre high, thorny, wild growing plants. Its pungency is milder than the usual Szechuan pepper, but its aromas are citric, woody, slightly acidic, grapefruit-like and somewhat herbaceous. This is why Timur pepper is often called lemon or grapefruit pepper. Its effect is described as stimulating.

With that I could end the description of the perfume, because the main ingredient of Timur is the pepper of the same name. But I still continue writing, because the other notes still play a role ;-)

Timur starts citric-fresh with the light acidity of a grapefruit and a subtle spiciness. After some time the grapefruit asserts itself and the citric recedes somewhat. This phase even lasts surprisingly long for this kind of fragrance. Later, lavender joins the grapefruit and the first woody notes become apparent.
The base is made of vetiver with a touch of patchouli and some amber, which gives the fragrance a little more depth, while being slightly herbaceous but never losing its freshness.

The shelf life is very good for a fragrance of this kind, the silage moderate.

Conclusion: Timur is different ;-) I would dare to speak of a fragrance experience here. The aromas of the Timur pepper harmonize in a very special way that you don't find that often. The interplay of citric, woody and sour notes is fun, lifts the spirits and is really stimulating
