JUNIPER SLING

The black pepper note is what sold me — it cuts through the juniper and angelica so the scent feels sharp instead of syrupy. Lasts through a full workday on my skin, which is rare for an EDT. I keep catching whiffs of it hours later and it genuinely brightens my mood.

Smells like a proper gin and tonic on a hot evening, that juniper burst is unmistakable and the angelica softens it just enough. The warmth from the black pepper lingers for hours on my skin without turning cloying. I've already gotten two compliments from strangers, which never happens.

The black pepper comes through right away, sharp and warm, but the juniper keeps it light and bright. I sprayed it on at noon and caught whiffs of that spice well into the evening. Definitely need a double spritz, though—it's a subtle one.
