🌶️ The Inspiration: Sparks in the Dark
Fireflies in a dark forest. Black Pepper Hwyl amplifies the spicy top notes of the original. It is kinetic, sharp, and buzzing with energy. It takes the stoic wood and gives it a nervous system.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Friction and Bark
The scent explodes with Madagascan Black Pepper and Pink Pepper. It tingles. The heart is Cypress and Ginger. The base is Vetiver. It is dry and hot.
