Neither Apples Nor Pepper
Love & Toast POMME POIVRE contains neither apple nor pepper, so the name appears to be some sort of cryptic metaphor. The perfume is really nice, although for a couple of minutes I find it rather unpleasant and actually worried upon my first application that it was going to be a scrubber. Far from it, in fact!
POMME POIVRE opens chaotically and discordantly and smells like something of a jumbled masculine cologne mess, to be perfectly frank. But then somehow out of the madness emerges the method: this is a gorgeous ebony resin composition with light florality and a decidedly Playdoh-esque drydown. Maybe that doesn't sound so great, but I have to say that I find this niche-quality perfume incredibly addictive, and I am very glad that I acquired it.
Others have compared POMME POIVRE to DEAD SEXY, which appears to contain the same notes, so I'll definitely be giving that Margot Elena offering a sniff in the not-too-distant future, because this a wonderful creation: all natural, great longevity, good sillage, unique combination of notes. An inviting comfort scent which is not too sweet and totally wrist-sniffable--and it costs nearly nothing!
