Poivre Caron for women

Just tryed a decant sample. Very sophisticated. A bit to clovery at first but perfect for a luxurious night out. The smell of opulence with a sexy slick twist.

The vintage sample that I tried begins with a slight peppery note, but within seconds it changes to cloves. However, it’s not just cloves from the spice drawer, there are other notes in there softening and expanding on the clove theme. That expansion does not just create a carnation scent, either, it’s something bolder and better.

There’s wood, there’s a little bit of resin and incense, and it all fits together perfectly. After about 2-3 hours it dries down to a light skin scent that persists for another few hours. It’s surprising to me that this perfume was created by a mainstream house in the 1950s, because it could easily be a modern niche fragrance, and one of the better ones, at that. If I bought full bottles, this version of Poivre would be FB-worthy. However, I understand it's probably been reformulated, so none of this may apply to the current Poivre.

I love the bottle! Gorgeous! Can't wait to try this fragrance.

(Pure Parfum Review)

I think Tabu smell like an Egyptian incense and Poivre smell like a Medieval incense.

Spicy, dark and misterious, Poivre is the most complex spicy fragrance I have ever smelled.

While I really like the smell, I simply don't feel this fragrance is easy to wearing it. So Poivre must be applied in small quantities.

(Parfum review)
I"m going to believe that my parfum sample is recent, and NOT what was put on the market in 1954.

Why this was reformulated I can't say, but what I can say is that I could walk through the eye of a hurricane and stop to pick out a Caron, and this ain't one of them.

When Poivre was reformulated someone simply opened their kitchen spice drawer, unscrewed the lids from the pepper and clove jars and mixed it with a little water.

I'd be less harsh with my review if this were an EDT, but as a parfum I have to keep it real.

Caron needs to be called to task on this one.

Peppery and sexy! I tried to buy it last year while in NY Bergdorf, but I was told they were sold out and it was only in France at that time.

this is the 3rd most expensive perfume in the world
