Cosmic Pepper
Cosmic Pepper opens with two pepper materials simultaneously: pink pepper's bright sharpness and black pepper's deeper warmth, lemon and tangerine adding citrus brightness while sage threads through with an herbal quality. Damask rose in the heart is the surprise: a warm floral that softens the pepper accord before oud arrives to give the composition its real depth. The base is a study in warm density, oakmoss and labdanum alongside ambergris and tonka, the whole drydown rich and lasting. Two peppers, one destination.
Why We Carry This
The dual-pepper construction in Cosmic Pepper is the specific compositional choice that gives this composition its character: pink and black pepper occupy different registers, and using both simultaneously creates a more complex accord than either alone. The oud-ambergris base gives the pepper heart a lasting warmth that the 2023 release delivers consistently.
