In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Black Pepper by Areej hits the skin with an immediate blast of crushed black pepper and dry tobacco leaf. The opening feels fiery and dark, striking a sharp balance between pungent kitchen spice and cured leaf. It avoids early sweetness, leaning hard into a raw, textured bite that demands cool air to breathe properly.…

Reviews →

Rich Tabacco Blend by Sentio pairs the dry bite of tobacco leaf with warm vanilla and sweet tonka bean. It fits cozy winter nights or brisk autumn days. A hint of fresh ginger cuts through the heavy sweetness, creating a comforting aura on your skin.
