Caravelle Epicee
Eau de Parfum Spray 100ml

Unisex

Caravelle Epicée takes its name from the spice ships of long ago, but there is nothing remotely aquatic or damp here. This is heat and spice — the dry interplay of pepper and coriander, nutmeg and tobacco, patchouli and precious sandalwood.” Additional notes include thyme, gaiac wood and amber.

"Caravelle Epicée starts with a veritable explosion of spice notes, and while I find it glorious, I can see someone less enthusiastic about spice being a bit overwhelmed. A little bit of amber sweetens things up briefly at the start, but it fades into the background rather quickly as the hot pepper, dusty-dry and strong, takes over. The other spices come and go, first the coriander, then a little hint of thyme, then lots of nutmeg, but the pepper hangs on for a good hour before settling itself down (the notes: coriander, nutmeg, clove, cumin, cardamom, thyme, tobacco, patchouli, sandalwood, gaiac wood and amber).
The dry down is a more subdued woody fragrance, still dry but not nearly so bone-dry as the early stages, and with the tobacco, while mild, adding a nice bite to the proceedings. After about an hour and a half, the spices are now well-blended and the finish is almost creamy. I really like Caravelle Epicée." //Now Smell This
