Reviews of Poivre ![]() Off-Scenter Show all reviews | I understand that Poivre was once a peppery carnation, but given that carnation is most often approximated by a blend of rose and clove, and that eugenol (the principal “clove” compound,) is now highly regulated, the current Poivre Parfum is basically a woody rose doused in black pepper. Unfortunately, the soapy rose at Poivre Parfum’s core rates among the most vile and impoverished I’ve encountered. 21st December, 2011. |

And the peppery floral note of carnation, too. Poivre opens with a spicy, peppery bang - a big red-gold wallop of scent, very vintage and lush in character. 3rd November, 2010. |
![]() Larimar AustriaShow all reviews | Oh well, I got a sample of this with my Tabac Blond. Upon application I get slight shifts from clove and pepper to only clove, later clove and a hint of incense, but mainly clove as the main star. It is certainly nicely done and I can compare it with the essential oil of clove (bud), which I have at home, which is on the other hand CHEAP to buy. 30th June, 2010. |

![]() Mimi Gardenia United StatesShow all reviews | Poivre parfum is a strong, brave and a bracing scent. Totally unisex. On application, there's the strong blast of black peper and clove - it glorious. Not at all off putting. This is a hero or heroine's scent. The scent of the brave. As with most Caron's I know - you need just a touch of parfum on your skin for it to bloom .This is warm and spicey scent of all goodness ,it gets a little sweeter as it approaches the drydown. Quite linear on me, avante garde, unique,so different,non conformist. I love it. 17th April, 2010. |
![]() Maximiliani United StatesShow all reviews | True story; I was in the kitchen making a dish of rice pudding from scratch for kicks. The recipe called for ground cloves. I got the spice jar of ground clove off from our designated "spice" cabinet and smelled it. Clovey, naturally, and strong. Something about raw clove is kind of off putting to me, not my favorite. I tapped a little bit in, the last tap was strong and I ended up putting a good dose of clove into the pudding. Not too much of a problem though, stirred it, put it in the oven. Both my mom and brother said when it was baking that it smelled good whatever it was I was making. 11th February, 2009. |
