Best Perfumes With Pink Pepper
Elegant, mysterious and utterly feminine, I delved deep into my notes and samples to find the seven best pink pepper perfumes I’ve ever tried.
1. Tiffany Rose Gold Intense Eau de Parfum
Review
Tiffany & Co. is known for elegance and femininity; Rose Hold Intense is a perfect example of its vibe. Alluring, complex, and intense, it’s my go-to for dates.
This scent opens with citrus and berries, all dusted in pink pepper that adds a layer of glamour to the floral (mainly rose) heart.
At the base, you will catch warm woods, smoky patchouli, and marine accord. The result is complex, heady, and sensual.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper Extract, Citrus, Fruity Notes
Mid Notes:
Orange Flower, Jasmine, Turkish Rose Oil, Orris
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Warm Woods, Pink Sugar, Marine Accord
Seasons & Longevity
Rose Gold Intense is ideal for autumn/winter/spring to make the most of the pink pepper; I love it for date nights and evening events. Lasts 4+ hours with solid projection.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A luxurious fragrance embodies elegance and sophistication |
| Cons | It‘s rich aroma may be overwhelming for some |

Twilly d’Hermès Eau Poivrée is a 2019 addition to the Hermès portfolio, and it’s one of my all-time fave pink pepper and rose scents.

Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Ideal for making a bold statement |
| Cons | It may not suit those who prefer subtle fragrances |
3. Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper 25 Intense
Review
Kayali is a part of Huda Beauty, and you can expect the same high quality from these scents as you have come to expect from their beauty products.
Pink pepper, bergamot, royal lily, and saffron create a seductive and feminine sillage that melts into a heart of rose, magnolia, and orchid.
Musk, sandalwood, patchouli, and amber create a robust, resinous base, ensuring it’s subtle, complex, and alluring.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Royal Lily, Saffron

| Cons | Maybe too much rose for some noses |
4. Molton Brown Fiery Pink Pepper Eau de Parfum
Review
Molton Brown is my go-to for fancy bath and shower gels, but of their fragrance range, Fiery Pink Pepper is one of my all-time favourites!
Fruity and warm thanks to pink pepper, tangerine, and ginger, these fruity notes give way to a fresh, floral heart and a dry, smoky base with musky undertones.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper, Tangerine, Ginger
Mid Notes:
Lily-of-the-Valley, Osmanthus, Olibanum, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Musk

Fiery Pink Pepper works well in any season, I feel, as it’s refreshing and invigorating; you can expect at least four hours of wear from one generous spritz.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A spicy scent that is both invigorating and comforting |
| Cons | This is full-on pink pepper |
5. Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Eau de Parfum
Review
If you want a mature, robust perfume that puts pink pepper on a pedestal, then Signorina is the Salvatore Ferragamo scent for you.
Spicy pink pepper and juicy blackcurrant create a dazzling opening that welcomes the feminine floral heart with open arms.
At the base, you will be shrouded in musk, patchouli, and waves of sweet pannacotta. The result is gourmand, sensual, and robust.
Top Notes:
Pink Pepper, Blackcurrant
Mid Notes:
Jasmine, Peony, Rose
Base Notes:
Pannacotta, Musk, Patchouli

Wear Signorina in spring and summer when the spicy notes blend perfectly in the contrasting cool air. It will last you 5+ hours with ease.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A feminine and elegant pink pepper fragrance |
| Cons | Maybe too creamy for some |
6. Byredo Unnamed Eau de Parfum
Review
This ‘unnamed’ fragrance from Byredo is a limited edition, so grab a bottle of this powdery/peppery delight while you can.
Pink pepper and gin accord come together in a sharp, zingy blend quickly rounded out by the heart notes of powdery violet and orris stem.
The base is dry and resinous thanks to fir balsam and tree moss, and the overall scent is elegant and classy.

Lush Violet, Orris Stem

7. Etat Libre d’Orange Archives 69 Eau de Parfum
Review
As an independent French perfumery, Etat Libre d’Orange Archives 69 has gained a cult following thanks to its spicy, resinous undertones.
Pink pepper-dusted mandarin is sweetened by a fruity floral heart of orchid and plum.
Camphor, musk and patchouli give Archive 69 a smoky, slightly bitter finish that will turn heads.
Top Notes:
Mandarin, Pink berries Pure Jungle Essence™ (Pink Pepper), Pepper leaves
Mid Notes:
Vanilla-Orchid Accord, Prunes Neo Jungle Essence™ (Plum), Incense
