Jean-Pierre Sand presents a puzzling, hard to find bottle that opens with a sudden splash of cool freesia and violet leaf. The top notes immediately get a dry shake of black pepper, which cuts through what could have been a standard sweet floral start.

The base settles into a quiet, clean cedar and incense smoke that hugs the skin tightly. It is best suited for casual spring or autumn days when you want a light, woody floral that stays close to your skin. Given its limited retail availability, it serves best as an unusual collector piece rather than a daily signature bottle. Show less
