Poivre is a big, bright firecracker of a carnation. The original 1950s advertisements featured a Chinese-style dragon, which I find very fitting: Think of the firecrackers that accompany Chinese...

This is a lovely fragrance, probably best for cold days. I was a bit torn between 3 and 4 (thinking that 3.5 would have been the right rating) ... but then I remembered that I tried it on a pretty...

Just discovered this classic gem from Caron. The extrait of course. Leathery, spicy carnation with loads of pepper and nutmeg. I don't know how I ignored it till now, this is definitely FBW.

Wanting to explore this perfume house, I turned to the ladies of the Fragrance Board for some recommendations, and Poivre was one of the Caron fragrances that has a devoted MUA following. When I...

Spicy, with a hint of carnation. Love it, but this scent is intense. Better for night time wear.

This is a floral that non-floral gals could easily fall in love with. This is mostly spicy cloves and carnations with a hint of expensive buttery leather. Why did I give it a low rating? While I...

This is an absolutely fabulous spicy carnation fragrance! I also detect a smooth leather note, vanilla and some gentle woods in the drydown, which all help tame the spices a bit. In the beginning...

Poivre is a very well blended,very wearable spicy oriental. If you love spicy parfum, you will love Poivre. I happen to love it! What strikes me most about it is it's wearability. Many spicy...

If you could bottle the effect of old fashioned Roman candles and exploding catherine wheels, the result would be Poivre. This parfum is indicative of the Caron genius and is one of my very...

Updated: Spicy, sexy, and yet refined, Poivre is the most wonderful scent I have ever smelled. I don't detect its floral notes on my skin at all (a good thing, as florals rarely work for me) -...

I am definitely in the group of those who love Poivre. Delicious to the extreme - can't tear my nose away from my wrist when I'm wearing it. Warm, sweet carnation, cloves and pepper initially and...

This seems to be love-or-hate, and I'm in loooove! I like a lot of real pepper too, and am very into cloves as well, so this perfume works on me and for me. I can see how it might be a bit much...

Poivre is a powerful, spicy, long lasting scent. To me, it smells wonderful - like it contains roses hidden among the spices. I was told in the Caron shop in Paris that Coup de Fouet is the EDP...

A very spicey oriental. This one (at least in my book of orientals!) is not typical in that it does not have that warm, opulent feel that comes with the amber/vanilla/sandalwood base that so many...

Pepper. That's it. However, the kind SA at the Caron boutique did tell me that the EDP version of this fragrance is called "Coup De Fouet" and kindly gave me a sample of it. Some of these...
