Jean Jacques, the visionary perfumer, conducts a sensory detonation with Poivre Sacré Eau de Parfum—a dynamic burst of spice scents that instantaneously invigorate the senses. The spotlight belongs to black pepper, delivering fresh and woody notes that exude an explosive power, initiating an olfactory journey marked by intensity. To heighten the impact, Jean Jacques ingeniously blends black pepper with a dynamic fusion of warm spices—saffron with leathery nuances and cumin—alongside fresh spices like coriander seeds and nutmeg. This intricate marriage creates a multifaceted fragrance that intertwines aromatic and woody elements seamlessly.
The essence of elemi, a resin from the Philippines, serves as the perfect transition, effortlessly connecting the spicy top notes to the woody heart notes of frankincense, which linger mysteriously in this scent. Dark Labdanum, patchouli with smokey undertones, and modern woody notes contribute to the revelation of warm and powerful aromas reminiscent of oriental fragrances featuring precious oud. Aptly named, Poivre Sacré pays homage to its origins—a sacred pepper that unfurls a subtle nod to the perfume’s exotic and captivating essence. It is a fragrant symphony that captures the spirit of intensity and pays homage to the sacred allure of pepper.

STORY
A devotee of the iconic Parfum Sacré from the 1990s, Jean Jacques honors the scent by placing pepper at the heart of his creation, Poivre Sacré. Paying homage to CARON’s heritage, this fragrance recalls the 1954 release of Poivre. A subtle nod to past and present perfumers who master challenging ingredients, this contemporary composition, inspired by Middle Eastern perfumery, captivates lovers of opulent scents crafted with exquisite ingredients.
Did you know?… Spices, once rare and valued as currency, led to the French expression “payer en espèces” (pay in cash), as “espèces” is derived from “épices” (spices).
