Story

A core of spicey Black and White Peppercorn and opulent handpicked Immortelle Flower. Rich Dried Tobacco Leaf, spice from Aceh Mace, Clove Buds; sweetness from Tonka Bean and Benzoin Resin. Smokey green notes from Iranian Galbanum Gum emphasise the ornery personality, all underpinned by a fine French Oak Moss. Crisp, exciting and full of surprises.

PEPPER (Piper nigrum)
ORIGIN Vietnam & Madagascar
EXTRACTION CO2 extraction

Peppercorns grow like tiny grapes on Piper Nigrum vine. Black and white Pepper are the same berry: White Pepper starts as a black peppercorn, but the thin outer skin is removed by hand. The naked peppercorns are then sun-dried before being crushed and extracted using a technical CO2 process. This perfume contains both an animalic White and a seductive almost floral Black Pepper. They use berries from Piper Nigrum vines that are been cultivated by hand by small farmer groups, as well as a bright, fruity Pink Peppercorn (Schinus Molle) from Peru – actually a berry, not a true pepper.

They use the same white, black and pink peppercorns that you would use for cooking. They’re extracted in the countries where they’re picked, which keeps money and knowledge in the local economies.

Notes 

Madagascar black pepper, Vietnamese white pepper, immortelle from Corsica, Brazilian tonka, Bulgarian tobacco, galbanum from Iran and French oakmoss
