Freshly Ground PeppercornsĪs this spicy opening subsides, a slight hint of nutmeg shines through, with a soft floral rosy accord (geranium) buried underneath.Īlso, whispers of soft frankincense flow through the scent.Īnd as it dries down, it becomes woodier, as vetiver creeps in and morphs with the pepperiness.Īnd finally, this is joined with a kiss of sweetness, which adds a warm semi-sweet nutty woodiness to the scent.
