Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched by Le Labo in 2008 and crafted by Nathalie Lorson, Poivre 23 London is a sophisticated blend of fresh spicy notes that give way to warm amber and vanilla. The fragrance opens with an invigorating burst of pepper before settling into a smoky, powdery base that exudes warmth and depth. It's neither traditionally masculine nor feminine, embodying the unisex ethos Le Labo has championed since its founding in 2006.
Apply one or two sprays to capture both the initial freshness and the warm base notes. This fragrance evolves over time, so it's best enjoyed close to skin rather than from across the room.
