Attractive summer spice: Casual & sexy

The first spray surprised me straight away: the black pepper immediately tingles pleasantly and excitingly over fresh neroli. The vetiver brings a dry, natural base that is more silky than earthy. This is exactly what makes the fragrance for me: Sexy spicy right at the beginning, always a pleasantly light sweetness and yet natural charm from start to finish.

The fragrance is self-confident, but not inappropriately loud, it is always wearable - especially on warm summer evenings with friends or as a couple. The pepper lends an attractive spiciness, the amber warms the skin without being sticky and the freshness of the neroli creates an airy trail that draws you closer.

I get slightly summery Luna Rossa Black vibes (although they don't really smell similar) and that's a clear compliment: similarly seductive, only here more peppery and less powdery, different in execution, similar in effect: both high quality, date-worthy and (almost) always wearable - in summer I prefer to reach for Black Pepper, Vetiver, Neroli, Amber.

A modern, sexy, spicy summer fragrance with a profile that never overwhelms, but arouses curiosity. It lasts solidly on my skin and has a moderate radiance. Tip: Spray it on your clothes too, because I can still detect an extremely pleasant, spicy trail there days later, which I love.

What is missing? A nice name and slightly better durability. Otherwise, a unique favorite fragrance for me, which I hope will not become (even) more expensive (currently 190€/100ml) and will remain of such high quality.
