Rose & Black Pepper 30ml

The rose comes through bold and unapologetic, but the black pepper and cardamom keep it from being too sweet—it’s warm and a little smoky without being heavy. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch whiffs on my scarf late evening, which is exactly what I want from a 30ml bottle.

The saffron and black pepper hit right away, sharp and warm, but it’s that powdery makeup accord in the heart that keeps me sniffing my wrist hours later. Lasted a full workday on my skin, which surprised me for a 30ml bottle I sprayed a bit too freely.

The upcycled rose note feels genuinely rich, not synthetic, and the black pepper and cardamom settle into something surprisingly elegant after an hour. I’ve gotten three compliments already, and a single spray lasts through my whole workday.
