Black Pepper

Black Pepper, a Warm Spicy Woody

Black Pepper is one of those scents that just smells expensive and easy. Our version keeps that polished feel, opening with black pepper and lemon before settling into a warm base of oakmoss, amber, and vetiver.

The Story Behind the Scent

Molton Brown built Black Pepper around a single, confident idea, the warm bite of freshly ground peppercorns. Rather than a loud statement scent, it aimed for something smart and understated, the kind of fragrance that works everywhere.

That easy sophistication is why it became a quiet favourite. The pepper gives it energy, the citrus keeps it fresh, and the mossy woods make it warm and grounded. Our interpretation follows the same balance, from the crisp opening to the soft, woody finish.
