The story behind the bottle.
Poivre Impérial by Caron, launched in 2022 and crafted by Jean Jacques, is a fresh spicy fragrance that marries the vibrancy of citrus and florals with the warmth of woody and herbal notes. This composition opens with a zesty burst of citrus that cuts through the richness of rose and floral accords, creating an intriguing tension. As it develops on the skin, the warm spices and woody base lend depth and complexity, making it both invigorating and comforting.
Given its strong sillage, one or two sprays is sufficient to make a statement. The longevity means it will last throughout the day without needing frequent reapplications. Best worn during cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
