Fragrances With Peppery Notes?

[Nick Danger]

I'm really enjoying the D.R. Harris Windsor EdT that I'm wearing today. The only problem with it is that it doesn't last very long at all.

I do have Terre d'Hermes parfum, which many people say is similar to D.R. Harris Windsor. Actually, the TdH is my very favorite scent but I find it rather different than the D.R. Harris. For one thing, the D.R. Harris Windsor seems to have a much more prominent peppery note.

What other fragrances with peppery notes do you suggest that I explore?

I hope to find something with a bit more longevity.

I'd prefer to stay away from anything that also has a lot of sage or patchouli.

Thanks!

Nick

Tzora by Anat Fritz should be right up your alley. It does have a bit of patchouli in it, but it is primarily a Peruvian pepper, bergamot, Vetiver and cedar driven composition, with a mossy undertone in the early heart phase.

[hednic]

Jules by Dior

[JiveHippo]

Hermes Poivre Samarcande (or Marc Jacobs Bang if you're on a budget), also Penhaligons Opus 1870.

[The Smelly Scientist]

Another vote for Poivre Samarcande

[Beftus]

Marc Jacobs' Bang.

[d4N13L]

I do love peppery fragrances

Bang - Lots of chilli powder
Burberry the beat - Pure salty peppers (this one I dont like cause its salty, but worth a try)
Angel Men Taste of Fragrance Chilli - A LOT of chilli pepper sauce, i mean A LOT
Le Labo Poivre 23 - Resinous pepper
Le Labo Baie Rose 26 - Pimento berry, very natural

There are a hell of a lot of peppery fragrances but I cant remember right now. But the above are all very very good, i own and love all of them.

[CapriDog]

I am also a fan of Poivre Samarcande. If you like white pepper and have not tried Lalique White by Lalique, give it a sniff.

[Picassoutine]

I liked a sample of Penhaligon Opus 1870, starting off peppery and ending up roses, but longevity was lacking, at least on my skin.

Assiduosity has also recommended "Molton Brown's Black Pepper - the eau (if they still make it) is a little monotone, but as a range of luxurious bath and shower wear for men it takes some beating..."

[alfarom]

here are some...

Bang (again)
Tzora (again)
Umbra
Piper Leather
Honour Man
Aqua Di Casta
Ormonde Man
Shams
Greyland
Un Parfum des Sens et Bois
Piper Nigrum
French Lover
Laurum
Kenzoair

[frostiblack]

Donna Karan's Black Cashmere - technically women's, but IMO very unisex.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I think Wonderwood smells of pepper.

And wood, obvs.

[Tonyprince]

Another vote for Marc Jacobs Bang, a really under-rated fragrance and peppery as hell. On the niche side (and less dominated by pepper, despite the name) is Lorenzo Villoresi's Piper Nigrum. If you can find an older one in the translucent glass bottle, it's a better formulation, but the new one is still very good.

[Darvant]

Some others are:
Nemo Cacharel
Ormonde Man by Ormond Jayne
Moschino by Moschino
Dark Aoud Montale
Caravelle Epicee Frapin
Cologne Noir Van cleef&Arpels

I LOVE pepper in fragrances.

My favourites are -

Niche - Amouage Epic Man

Designer - Bang by Marc Jacobs

[totaldominasian]

How has nobody else mentioned Spicebomb?

[charger]

I love pepper in frags. Bang is definitely the most peppery one that I have tried. Great stuff and very low priced as well.

[CologneFan85]

DG The One Gentlemen has a pepper open

[RedRaider430]

One of my more peppery fragrances is Penhaligon's Juniper Sling. The opening is very peppery. JS is one of my favorite late dry down fragrances. People have complained about it's poor longevity, but I have not found that to be the case at all.

[david]

Cacharel Pour L'Homme ~ A forgotten and very underrated classic. Probably the most masculine fragrance ever created.
Warm beautiful black pepper......

Bodyshop ~ Pink Pepper, (unisex fragrance). Discontinued, but you can find it quite easily on the net. Well worth tracking down.

[canuck21]

Surprised no one has mentioned Armani Prive Bois D'encens. Heavy dose of pepper there.

[docluv45]

L'Artisan Poivre Piquant

[Fragmeister]

Marc Jacob's 'Bang' is a pepper-fest with a pleasant, powdery element to it. It was my most worn fragrance of 2012. Pepper, pepper and more pepper.

[fragnifiscent]

Amouage Honour Man - High quality pepper!

[Nick Danger]

Wow! Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. Clearly, I've got to sample the Marc Jacobs and the Hermes as well as many of the others mentioned here.

Normally, I'd take a stroll to the fine stores along Chicago's Michigan Avenue to try some of these. However, the temperature here is currently in the single digits so I think I may just order some decants online.

Nick

[Picassoutine]

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

[lanky]

i tried the molton brown black pepper bodywash 2 years ago...very powerfull and long lasting...was a little to overpowering for me.

kerosene wood haven has a nice pink pepercorn opening that i enjoyed but short lived

[DaveStPaul]

Bulgari pour homme. While I do get the "well-blended" feel most people comment on, I also get -- throughout the whole wearing -- big hits of black pepper. Worth a try -- and no sage or patchouli!

[Dimitrios]

psss a little secret ,,,,,,
Criminally underated & a peppery delight is Oscar for Men , by Oscar De La Renta .
It has no patchoul or sage as you want & its sillage & longevity are almost in the powerhouse range .
At just over $20 a bottle , my mind boggles as to why this one is still flying under the radar ?

[Buzzlepuff]

L' Artisan Navegar

[treeman5823]

Marc Jacob's Bang! comes immediatley to mind.

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

How about something from the spring and summer end of the spectrum:
Lalique White.
Oh so peppery.
Oh so good.

[Pamplelune]

Another vote for Ormonde Man.

[Primrose]

Caron Poivre and Marc Jacobs Bang.

[Paradeiserl]

My alltime pepper favorite: Penhaligon's Opus 1870

[Diamondflame]

Calvin Klein Man
Bulgari Man
Ormonde Man

Jeez... what's with 'man' and pepper notes??

[Larimar]

Coup de Fouet - pour moi

[Sparky]

Surprised no one has mentioned Armani Prive Bois D'encens. Heavy dose of pepper there.

+1 A great initial blast of pepper, and a great incense fragrance. Much more approachable than Avignon and the pepper just makes it! It is a little pricey though...

Hermes Poivre Samarcande is a great reference pepper, but the OP did want longevity - this one is wonderful but fleeting.

[Francolino]

Gucci PH II
Bang
Lalique White ( the most incredible, slow on duration)
Memo Shams
to name a few!

[Prince Barry]

Another vote for Caron's Coup de Fouet.

L'Occitan. This one is pepper and Lavendar, straight up. Great quality ingredients, beautiful dry down and an incredible value at the price point.

This man speaks the truth - criminally underated.

[Fhaoilgeal]

Though it does have patchouli, I don't find it overbearing: Perles de Lalique by Lalique
It is fairly inexpensive - 100 ml for about $40.

Also like Bois D'Encens and Baie Rose 26 (you can find these in the Basenotes Splits forum.)

[renperd]

Go cheap, go Paco Rabanne Eau. I get a schooner's worth of pepper in this fresh 'fume. Longevity and sillage are great provided you let fly on the trigger.

[Freedom Factory]

Go cheap, go Paco Rabanne Eau.

I strongly disagree. Rabanne's Eau is primarily a bergamot & vetiver bomb, not a reference point when looking for peppery scents.

Apart from that, I echo the recommendations for Piper Nigrum, Lalique White, Bang, The Beat and Molton Brown's Black Pepper line.

I also ♥ peppery scents!

[Zgb]

I do love peppery fragrances

Bang - Lots of chilli powder
Burberry the beat - Pure salty peppers (this one I dont like cause its salty, but worth a try)

I totally agree with Bang and Beat for men, the rest mentioned I didn't try.

[dnc]

Bang or Epic man.

Molton Brown is good but poor longevity for me

[nikthegreek]

poivre samarcante by hermes.
mark jacobs bang is ok,but dont even come close to it.

[Kielecki]

Amouage Honour Man is the best quality pepper fragrance with great longevity

[frug]

The heart accord of Chanel Allure Homme is a smooth and elegant pepper.

[hedonist222]

Coincidentally just today i was wondering the
same thing. I used.my new bottle of Windsor aftershave.

I suggest:

La Fumeè - miller Harris
Ormonde Jayne - Man
Poivre Samarcande - Hermes
Bang - Marc.Jaxob
