Story

Miroslav was a geologist. From every expedition he brought back a new kind of pepper and poured the peppercorns into a little camping jar. Over the years there were seven.

That summer the expedition worked high in the mountains. On the morning of the last day Miroslav woke before everyone and lit a fire by the tents.

He put Seven Peppers on his wrists. Lemon and pink pepper opened bright and fresh, like cold mountain air at dawn.

Miroslav crushed a handful of peppercorns from his jar between his palms and tossed them into the pot of porridge. Pepper, resins, neroli and rose unfolded on his skin, warm and slightly tingling.

His partner Gavriil looked out of a tent.

"Miroslav, you smell of pepper and freshness so much that the whole camp is awake. What kind of morning is it?" Gavriil asked.

"The morning we go home. Sit down for breakfast while it's hot," Miroslav laughed.

The whole expedition gathered round the fire. They said they had not eaten porridge like that all summer.

By evening cedar, vetiver, musk and oakmoss stayed on his skin, calm and clean. Miroslav closed his jar and put it in the field box next to the rock samples.

How it smells

The start is bright and fresh: lemon and pink pepper sound lively, with a light tartness.

In the heart pepper, warm and soft, tickles the nose, resins add a cool depth, and neroli and rose a light floral note.

In the base cedar, vetiver, musk and oakmoss leave a clean, light woody trail.

What makes it special

Seven Peppers is now discontinued. It is a pepper fragrance in which different peppers balance each other: it invigorates without burning. It is a fresh spicy unisex fragrance for any season.

@sunshineladyvera writes on Instagram: "It tickles, warms, invigorates and lights an inner fire. An excellent all-season unisex."

@notes_olfactives writes on Instagram: "Lots of pepper with something lime-like. After a while I got laurel. And later, leathery accords. I love this. Added it to my favourites."

It is worn for vigour: early in the morning, on the road and on a day that begins with an adventure.
