The Story
Piment Brûlant is a spicy, warm fragrance that captures the essence of a chili pepper's heat without being overwhelming. It opens with a burst of red chili and pink pepper, then settles into a sweet, resinous heart of benzoin and cacao. The base is a comforting blend of sandalwood and vanilla, making it a unique and cozy scent for cooler days.

Encyclopedia Insights
Is Piment Brûlant actually spicy like chili?+
It has a warm, peppery kick but it's not overwhelming. The chili note is balanced by sweet benzoin and vanilla, so it's more cozy than fiery.
How long does it last?+
Expect around 6 hours of moderate projection. The spicy top notes fade within an hour, leaving a sweet, woody base.
Is this fragrance suitable for summer?+
It's best for cooler weather. The spicy warmth can be cloying in high heat, so we recommend it for fall and winter.
