Bang (2010)
by Marc Jacobs

Pepper, pepper, pepper! And cedarwoods. (Actually a molecule called Iso E Super) And it's not overly boisterous about the whole thing either.
If you like Terre d'Hermes but think it's too much, you should like this. They share similar bases and Bang is lighter.

Bang by Marc Jacobs - One is initially treated to an explosion of a sparkly pepper, unrestrainedly furnished by the pepper triumvirate - black pepper with its smooth, almost woody presence, pink pepper with its hay-like, potpourri air and white pepper with its earthiness. This jumble is very velvety rather than sharp in texture. A faint woodiness beckons the lively opening to its middle. Here, in the heart, sundry woods and faint greens tame and infuse the vibrant pepper, and pass it to the waiting base. Bitter and earthen vetiver, somewhat peppery and herbaceous patchouli, musky and leathery white moss, smoky, citrusy and woody elemi as well as earthy and sweet benzoin create a dark concoction to absorb the heart. A byproduct of the commingling of the middle's conifers and dry cedar with the components of the robust base makes for a fleeting, turpentine-ish vibe, otherwise the much subdued, foreboding melange flows to its alluring drydown. This inviting composition can be an all-season scent, and has good projection and average longevity.

My new fave. I find it unique on my skin (then again I'm fairly new to this world).
Many compliments received already!

I just found this for $22 at TJ Maxx. Blind buy but thanks to this forum I got a great frag for a basically no money. I'm not used to so much pepper but the more I wear this the more used to it and like it. There are 2 other bottles there for the same price so I'll def grab one more.
Apologies for the lame review but I'm just getting started here and learning more everyday.
Thanks guys!!!

What an amazing holy chic fragrance!!! At first I was like "wow pepper" and more pepper, but the first day I tried this on my skin... OMG! This is very weird, but I used to be an altar boy when I was little, and this just brought me those memories! There was definitely something in my catholic church that smelled just like Bang!

So underrated
So good

This frag will have your Le Male & Angel Men bottles cowering in the corner of your shelf.
This juice is not for "Frag Experts". Web experts forget that most men are very simple and direct creatures. There are times you want to smell masculine and not like a bakery or prettier than your girlfriend.

I have a love/hate relationship with Molton Brown's reCharge Black Pepper body wash which is truly a sea of Black Pepper. If you like that wash you'll LOVE this. It's way smoother but has that essence. Simple.

Get a sample vile and have fun with it.
