Mancera Cosmic Pepper

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on lemon, pink pepper and sage, moves through black pepper, damask rose and oud, and settles on white musk, tonka bean and oakmoss.

• lemon: sharp, bright citrus. The most cutting of the citrus notes
• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
