    That damn pink peppercorn…haha 😀 But this could be an interesting choice for Body Shop 🙂

      Could be! Red Musk was way less “daring” than they implied, so not expecting much from this one but we’ll see.

    I loved red Musk so I am looking forward to this.
    And I am a sucker with all perfumes with the word Black and Noir in it. So gullible to marketing ……

      I am sort of the opposite: when it says Noir or Black, I’m EXTRA disappointed if it isn’t, in fact, Noir or Black. And it so often isn’t!

        I don’t think the pear bodes well for noir-ness, but I’d certainly be happy to be proven wrong.

        It hardly ever is. But it does have licorice in it….

    With a list of notes like that, I have no idea what it will smell like. But while I missed the first Red Musk and refused RM Oud because oud, I will certainly give it a try. White Musk Libertine was so fabulous I stocked up, which is good since it appears it’s been discontinued. It looked like their Poppy scent was a step in the right direction. Crossing my fingers for this one.
