Black Pepper scents for men

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
Now I know Demeter Fragrance Library has a black pepper scent, but I'm looking for a cologne for guys that has black pepper as a base note and..well...I lean to cardamon or cloves as a secondary scent. Any suggestions?

Black Pepper isn't a base note; it's a top note. The best peppery fragrance I can think of is Bang.

Poivre Piquant or Piper Nigrum, although I think they are both unisex, have deep black pepper character.

Caron Coup de Fouet is mostly clove, possibly with some pepper.

Malle's French Lover smells just like ground black pepper!

F pour Homme by Salvatore Ferragamo has a black pepper midnote. Top is apple and lavender with the base containing labdanum.

Villoresi's Piper Nigrum is my favorite too.

+1 to Piper Nigrum

a hesitant +1 to Bang, and I'll add something like CdG Wonderwood

Bang is great because it's starts out with pepper, and is pretty linear. Only problem is it only lasts for a couple hours on me. But I love black pepper in frags and this one is pretty cheap.

Piper Nigrum is great and unique

Bang by Marc Jacobs is a complete pepper bomb! Great, affordable frag.

Another vote for both Piper Nigrum and French Lover.
