A multifaceted trail, Poivre Imperial blows hot and cold with delight. It is built on two opposite, totally unexpected ingredients: Pepper and Lotus Flower. How can two so different ingredients be combined so well?

Warmed by a note of saffron, a duo of peppers (black pepper and Sichuan) is galvanized by incense. This sacred resin underlines its spiciness and gives it some strength. The start has character! Behind this burst of spices, the floral heart opens like the corollas of the lotus flower. Turkish rose, from a For Life-certified fair trade chain, combined with Indian jasmine, draw the petals of a lotus larger than life. Some aquatic notes, and the flower seems to float on the water.

This Imperial Pepper is a surprise of delicacy.
