Disturbingly bad. This opens up obscure, smoky, spicy and what seems like an attempt of a jasmine flower note. I have smelt jasmine notes from higher end perfumery and this is utterly...

Both are based on bell pepper which is a rare note to use in perfumery. I've only tried Paprika Brasil and find that it is quite tame and the paprika only contributes a slight tingling effect in the topnotes

How does Piment Brulant compares to Paprika Brasil?

My brother absolutely loves Paprika Brasil. It's his favourite from the Hermessence collection.

I don't know Paprika Brasil but I have Piment Brulant (I'm wearing it now) which is absolutely stunning and possibly the most underrated scent on planet earth. Long lasting, intense bell peppers and a whole lot more....
