Feminine counterpart of Marc Jacobs - Bang/peppery woody female scent suggestion

Hi to all,

I'm trying to find a blind buy for a girl friend of mine who really likes Bang by Marc Jacobs (don't ask me why, I personally hate it, but hey, each to his or her own), so I'm searching for a slightly more feminine version of it, or a similar scent which has pepper, woods and some vetiver as notes. Please try to suggest something, I've promised her that I'll find something Thanks a lot!

CdG White might be worth a try.

  • Gender:
L'Artisan Timbuktu, a perfume based off of traditional women's perfume in Africa, has a gorgeous pepper opening, and great incensy drydown
Bulgari Eau Parfumee Au The Rouge, nice peppery opening, navigates through figgy territory into a beautiful rooibos accord (not much longevity on this one)
Tom Ford Violet Blonde I remember started out very peppery and I could pick out vetiver in the base
And of course, if you really like pepper and vetiver, Chanel Sycomore has them both in spades

Hermes Poivre Samarcande is almost the same as MJ Bang and is marketed as a unisex .It has a little bit of cooking herbs smell instead of Bang's teensy tiny whiff of vanilla/tonka/whatever-it-is.She may just want to get the Marc Jacobs Bang -I did.

I believe Caron´s Parfum Sacré, although rose-y is very woody and particularly peppery to my nose...

Poivre Samarcande.
The pepper note in Perles de Lalique is wonderful too. The fragrance is dry; feminine but not too much.
