Comment: Poivre Electrique is part of the Collection Orient
Poivre Electrique is a pleasant, albeit watery and restrained, peppery woody-incense affair.
Commencing with a hint of bitter orange, it's more about the pepper and frankincense than the woods, although the cedar is evident throughout its lifespan. Largely linear, it verges extremely close to the derivative masculine designer fragrances of the same ilk. However, as already mentioned, the woods are greatly toned down, but the composition does possess a sweet radiance from the combination of rose and myrrh.
With atrocious staying power of less than an hour, one is unable to recommend it when there's hardly anything to distinguish it from cheaper (and more robust) alternatives.
