Kitchen-y off-putting opening, average drydown
Caraway might have been a better name for this fragrance (or I suppose, "Un Carvi" to keep the theme going) rather than "Un Poivre" (pepper). The opening vegetable-like, spicy and kitchen-y but I wouldn't really call it pepper (if you want a black pepper opening that clears the nostrils, try Honour Man). Dries down to a smoky, slightly soapy vetiver that sort of reminds me of vetiver-heavy department store fragrances like Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette. Opening is off-putting, drydown is nothing to write home about. Meh fragrance, leaning towards being actively bad.

Attempt nr. 1000 (pepper, resin, smoke)
Received a sample from a friend.
Peppery, dry and a little smoky. After 30 minutes mainly sharp vetiver and resin. I don't smell the caraway seeds. Too bad, because the scent could have been more interesting with a little sweetness. Silage is moderate, after 1 hour a skinscent.

I've smelled this many times before. And better (Encens Flamboyant by Goutal, Serge Noir, la Fumee intense and ,of course, LADM by Tauer.

The Duel
Without a doubt one of my favorite scents. On my skin, it starts with a strong note of caraway. Aromatic and unpretentious, right off the bat. Hmmm, I take a deep breath of the fragrance. Yes, now the freshly ground pepper joins in. Just as unabashed as the caraway, it strives for dominance. Like two siblings vying for their parents' attention, they call out to me: smell me, smell me, smell me! Oh, my two little treasures, don’t you know that I love you both?
Vetiver smiles shyly. I smile encouragingly back. Meanwhile, cinnamon has simply vanished into thin air. Was it even there? The two spice siblings are just too loud. After they've had their fun, they merge with the vetiver into an almost incense-like scent with a lovingly budding freshness. Perhaps Amyris?
Well, who would have thought?

Solid, standard, classic pepper fragrance. The well-loved teddy bear of a grandfather.

It's as if the waiter ground directly into the bottle with his oversized pepper mill! Becomes greener & feels softly incense-like. Top!

Pepper & cumin on wood. The cumin evokes fresh bread & cool mint, a violet leaf shows aquatic qualities. Well done!

Successful, interesting cumin-pepper niche fragrance! 10 points for packaging & bottle (recyclable)! More on the masculine side, good sillage!

For a long time, it was just one huge cloud of pepper - borderline, sneeze risk!
The base is wonderfully aromatic, woody, like warm forest soil.

After a strong start (only briefly), it becomes a lovely, unobtrusive, fresh-spicy, balanced scent. Pleasant!

Bless you! A full blast of pepper and cumin, very strong and truly realistic. Ginger as a light counterbalance. Very unique.

Finally, I understand what pepper is doing in perfumes. Spicy and pleasant, yet still lightly citrusy fresh.

In the tradition of some modern peppery fresh scents, this one is also smoky and very masculine. That's really good.

Pepper- cumin bomb in the opening! A sharp spice that has a refreshing quality. Quite different as it develops, maritime, molecular, mild.
