Reviews of Poivre Piquant ![]() The_Cologneist United StatesShow all reviews | Not digging this one at all. It's dry, spicy, and sour. The notes that are noticeable to me are the white pepper, milk, honey, and other various spices. The spice overpowers everything and makes the milk smell sour. The honey is there, but just barely, adding a touch of sweetness. The overall feel is a peppery, and basil fragrance with some woods in the background. 4th January, 2011. |
![]() Off-Scenter Show all reviews | This is a more lithe, elegant, and transparent composition than the other contemporary black pepper-centered oriental I’m acquainted with, Lorenzo Villoresi’s Piper Nigrum. In this regard it's closer to their mutual predecessor, Caron’s lovely peppered incense and rose Parfum Sacré. Very close, in fact. Poivre Piquant is quieter, drier, and woodier, with far less emphasis on rose, but Parfum Sacré’s fundamental architecture is legible, though in a stripped down and attenuated form. As a result, the black pepper note stands out more clearly, and the overall impression is much sharper, and comparatively even stark or harsh. In other words, more “modern.” 30th May, 2010. |

| derad Czech RepublicShow all reviews | Poivre Piquant is permeated with eroticism - but no burnig passion dripping with bodily fluids - rather an affectionate sensuality, a carnality tender like a warm clean skin being kissed by loving lips instead. 22nd August, 2009. |
| ubuandibeme United StatesShow all reviews | Poivre Piquant is a unisex scent featuring white pepper. Notes of milk & honey add a mild sweetness, but for the most part, it's all about the pepper! Dry, which I love on my husband! I can't help but draw comparisons with Hermes Poivre Samarcande - which is superior in my opinion. (But the Hermes is also more than double the price!) Somehow Jean Claude Ellena's light-handed genius is showcased beautifully in the Hermessence line - sheer, transparent lasting beauty. It's almost impossible to beat THAT! L'Artisan's Poivre Piquant is a bit more 'dense' than the Hermes. Worth a test though, especially if you enjoy a good solid note of pepper! 29th November, 2008. |
| Ms Rochambeau United StatesShow all reviews | Poivre Piquant opens with a creamy-soft butteriness and reminds me a lot of Mechant Loup, another L'Artisan scent. There's also liquorice and very faint honey note. That phase is really nice. However, within moments, a pepperiness sets in that is very off-putting (too peppery, which doesn't leave room for much else to come through very well). From then on, the scent is a dry, milky pepper note that wears very close to the skin with very little sillage. Then suddenly, it disappears altogether.All that this scent has to offer comes within the first 15 minutes. I'll give it a neutral thumb instead of a thumbs down since the opening is nice. 16th November, 2008. |
