Featured notes

Labdanum (pron. Lab-DuH-numb) is a sticky, brown resin distilled from the rockrose plant found in the Mediterranean. It’s sweet, thick, smokiness lends a spicy backbone to Oriental style perfumes, and combines well with leather and other heavy spices. Labdanum is also one of the best “fixatives” in perfume, making other notes last longer and smell stronger in a composition. If your favorite scents are smoke, vanilla, caramel, black rubber, or peppery spice - labdanum’s unique scent will appeal to you. Labdanum scents are best for colder weather, and reveal their smoky-sweet mystery the most in evening fragrances.

    This smell is horrendous. Unless you like to smell like you just bathed in pepper, like black pepper. If 0 stars were a thing.

    Not for the Faint of Heart
    Smoldering Pepper is an absolutely accurate name. It's smoky and intense. I applied right before going to an event with a friend and she commented that I smelled really good, but when I held up my wrist for her she made a face from how aggressive the scent was up close. That being said, it eventually dries down into a warm vanilla base that's on the sweeter side. If you're looking for something that has projection and lasting power, this will do it, but a little goes a long way.
