Poivre Pomelo

Poivre Pomelo by Atelier Materi balances spice, green notes, woods and flowers in equal measure, with a bright citrus thread running through. Marie Hugentobler composed it, it was released in 2019, and it is worn by anyone.

It opens with Sichuan pepper, grapefruit and pink pepper, a tingling, zesty and slightly bitter start that feels very awake. The heart turns softer: osmanthus brings a fruity, apricot-like floral note with a hint of leather, peony a fresh pink petal, and angelica a green, earthy, slightly musky herbal quality. The base is dry and natural, with vetiver for earthy smoke, cedar for clean wood and mate for a green, tea-like nuance.

Crisp and lively, it suits spring and summer days, the office and outdoor weekends, and its woody base carries it into early autumn. It will appeal to someone who wants a fresh scent with real texture and spice, rather than a simple citrus cologne.
