Vetiver Pepper

So this gives me the impression of a peppery sweet twist on Vetiver Tonka by Hermes. It’s a great quality scent smooth sweet vetiver. Not earthy at all more the herbal aspects of vetiver. It’s an elegant fragrance on a budget around $37 retail. One of the best from the house and apparently the best seller by quite a margin but the new memoir collection is a step up in terms of presentation and potentially a marginal improvement in quality. So far I’m impressed by the houses creations apparently this is a sister brand of Rasasi aimed towards a younger and more educated demographic.

This is an amazing sexy, manly, vetiver and pepper scent. I can't put my hand on what it dupes or if it is a mixology of some perfumes out there. This is the business, a must buy for anyone that loves vetiver and peppery scents. Whoever said this is a terre de hermess meets sospiro vibrato probaby had a dildo shoved up their butt hole while whiffing this because their nose got it completely wrong.

I have had this perfume for months. It is excellent. It is very similar to the Lattafa Maahir Black Edition. If you love Maahir Black, you will love this scent from Azha.

Very nice scent but you have to wait at least 10 minutes into the dry down and this is one of the sexiest fragrances I own in my collection

Notes from the box: Top is Bergamot, Apple and Pink Pepper; Mid is Carnation, Jasmine and Rose; base is Labdanum, Ambergris and Vetiver. I am happy to report that a few months have significantly improved this fragrance. It remains a bit puzzling because most of the notes are difficult if not impossible to detect, including carnation, rose and vetiver. The clarification that this is PINK pepper instead of black is very important, however, since this nicely showcases the former. This starts out quite juicy, with lemon (from citral), bergamot and mandarin in a middle-sweetness base. The pink pepper and a cigar-box cedar join in the mid as the juiciness steps back (but not completely). As the base develops, some fougeric notes, a touch of leather and some cinnamon and clove (from the listed eugenol/iso-eugenol and cinnamal) come along. This is truly unisex, quite casual, and better for cooler weather due to the sweetness and moderate density. This no longer smells like Aventus plus BR540 (thank the gods), and while I can see the comparison to Maahir Black below, this lacks the smoke and stronger leather accords, and is put together more artfully. I only used 3 sprays and it lasted on chest and t-shirt for 7 hours, but projection is moderate. I still miss the promised vetiver, but two sprays of Encre Noir Sport at the 4 hour mark gave me what I was looking for.
