My pen collection

I once read a review of a perfume in which the user described the scent of pink pepper with pencils. Somehow that made me smile. Does that make me a pencil sniffer now? I can only say that I am a pink pepper fan and can see a certain parallel. Lipstick associations come to mind with fragrances with pink pepper and violet. So why not include all the pencils?

I can smell pink pepper immediately, so I knew straight away that The Original by Eight & Bob was for me. It's a very special fragrance: spicy, woody and somehow synthetic. I personally think the lemon is the perfect combination. Tangy and spicy go really well together and so the fragrance takes me to the next stage. If you're not a pink pepper fan, I have to disappoint you, the pink berries remain and are your intimate companions. As many before me have already described, it plays with creaminess and the pink berries in combination. It is therefore not a sweet fragrance. If you had to categorize the fragrance, I would put it in the "Your Skin but better" category. The warm components merge with the pink pepper and create this elegant scent for me, which is very delicately interwoven with the other fragrance notes. This "pencil-like" note is much stronger at first, but becomes much more buttery as it progresses and is willing to compromise with the other notes. In the dry down, it is really whipped cream-like and I find that really beautiful. The pink pepper remains very gently in the background and lets itself be enveloped by the whipped cream. A super pretty pink pepper fragrance that might even win over the pink pepper skeptics. Not a trace of retro lipstick ...
