Well, not much to say about this, it's floral, it's fruity, it even has some "beach" feeling, but the game is too short and boring...how can they just think that someone would pay that price for...
Going on with my Gardenia state-of-mind...
This one is my Holy Grail for Gardenia scents, maybe it's a tiny bit less realistic than "Gardez-Moi" (even though it contains mostly Gardenia...
First of all, It's a Gardenia phase for me, so I'm trying to sniff almost every Gardenia-based fragrance (wish I could try "Une voix noire", because I'm a leather-addict) and must admit that this...

I really own and love Hermes Poivre Samarcande and now start thinking about Opuse 1870 (another peppery scent) which I havent tried yet. So how do you compare the two and which one do you like most?

I agree they are very different. While neither really was my cup of tea, I too prefer Opus 1870. If you like peppery scents my recommendation is to check out Tzora by Anat Fritz, as it features Peruvian pepper quite well, IMO.
Opus is more of a cedar than pepper, It is nice but be aware that all Penhaligon's suffer from poor longevity. There are alot of nice pepper fragrances around, Try Bang by Marc Jacobs...
Poivre Samaracande has a very umm, I can only say "musky" BO note that completely turns me off, although I've not sniffed Opus 1870, but I can't imagine it being any worse...
