How it unfolds
-
The juniper hit
Juniper berry leads: sharp, green, resinous and cold, the botanical that gives gin its character. The brand calls it a burst of freshness, and in the pyramid it sits on top. The effect is crisp and slightly bitter, with nothing sugary to soften it.
-
Pepper warms it
Black pepper sits in the heart and brings the warm spice the brand talks about. It makes the cold, green opening feel less severe and adds a dry tingle, so the scent is fresh without turning chilly. The spice stays dry and never becomes sweet.
-
Vetiver, earthy and dry
Vetiver forms the base: earthy, grassy and dry. As the juniper cools down it gives the eau de toilette a calm, slightly woody floor, and it holds on to the dryness the whole blend is built on. The finish is dry and earthy.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Daytime, with a top-up
Eau de Toilette invites generous use: three or four sprays on neck and chest, and a top-up when the afternoon calls for it. It works best in spring and early autumn, in daytime and at casual evenings, on a terrace or at a bar. The brand suggests making it a double; with an eau de toilette that simply means one more spray.
For gin people, and others
The brand speaks to gin lovers, but the scent is simply fresh, green and peppery. It suits anyone who likes juniper, pepper and vetiver in a clean, dry composition, and who prefers an unfussy daytime perfume to a heavy evening one.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
