Rote Chili

The opening spray is a punch of pepper that made me blink, but give it twenty minutes and it settles into something warm and almost smoky on my skin. I've worn it to two dinners already and both times someone leaned in to ask what I had on. Not a shy scent, which is exactly what I wanted.

I was expecting heat, but the drydown is where this really gets interesting — it turns warm and resinous instead of staying sharp. Wore it to dinner and caught whiffs of it on my scarf hours later. For anyone tired of sweet scents, this one actually has some bite.

The chili note hits right away and dries down to something warm and spicy that lasts most of the day. It's bold without being overwhelming, and I've already gotten compliments wearing it to dinner.
