In a nutshell

Fleur Poivrée is a peppery floral with a soft, comforting base. It opens with a bright kick of pepper over abstract florals, then settles into vanilla and sandalwood that read creamy and slightly powdery on skin.

Vicious Mind is a warm spicy vanilla with a creamy, slightly tropical edge rather than a loud club scent. Coconut, clove, black pepper and sandalwood give it a dense, polished feel, while tuberose and tonka soften the structure. It suits evenings, dressed-up settings, and cooler weather more than hot days.
