About Molton Brown Black Pepper EDP
Molton Brown is the house behind Black Pepper EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Black Pepper longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Azzaro and Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Epices Patchouli Yves Saint Laurent last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like patchouli and oakmoss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Epices Patchouli Yves Saint Laurent has more depth.
More from Molton Brown
The house has 25 perfumes here, led by Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold unisex, Milk Musk and Wild Mint & Lavandin.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to spring. Ranked by season: fall, winter, summer and spring. If you need something for spring, Dior Chirstian Dior Eau Sauvage is a better fit.
Black Pepper price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €54. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Azzaro and Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Epices Patchouli Yves Saint Laurent.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Azzaro spreads further.
