Piment Brulant
Eau de Toilette
by L’Artisan Parfumeur

The Scoop
A very hot Mexican red pepper sets chocolate on fire in the Red Philtre! A narcotic touch of poppy to soften any resistance… and fever spreads all around! Irresistible chocolate and its magic fortifying powers, indicted in 1621 by a Viennese theologian for kindling passion, are made even stronger by fiery red pepper! It all comes straight from an ancient Aztec love potion of which Emperor Moctezuma drank up to fifty cups a day before visiting the women in his harem… then offered to Cortez in 1519.

Piment Brulant Notes
Red pepper, soft and creamy chocolate, vanilla, cloves and poppy, hints of musk and amber.

Here's what other people are saying about Piment Brulant...

Post a review >>

Judging by the reviews, this is very much a question of chemistry, as is Bois Farine (flour vs PB). Some say Piment Brulant smells of hot peppers and chocolate, the rest say it smells raw and fresh like a bell pepper or tomato. Two such clear and consistent but divergent perceptions can only be explained by differences in chemistry. Sadly, I get the raw bell pepper smell. Not too bad, but not how I wish to smell. Although I trust that this is beautiful on some wearers, a scent that caters to only half its audience has room to improve. I will have to look elsewhere for a hot pepper & chocolate scent, perhaps DSH.

Perfect warm-up for cold weather & a romantic ski weekend in the mountains. This is like wearing Xocolatl; chocolate, cinnamon, chili peppers, vanilla...spicy, and sexy, too.

what a hot surprise! this really feels like pimento. very warm and enticing scent. it smells like very hot peppers without the agressivity known of this fruit. delish!

Tomato stems? Interesting....not what I was expecting. This smells just like the green stems from a tomato plant. I'm not detecting any of the notes mentioned. Odd. I have this wonderful tomato basil kitchen spray by Cucina. Piment Brulant smells just like it. This is pretty as a room scent, not for the skin.

I put this on and my husband came into the room a minute later and said, Eeeew what smells like pooh? He actually thought i just dumped one in the ensuite and didnt close the door. Now Im not saying he knows the first thing about high end perfumes, BUT I certainly DONT want that reaction from my DH!! In any case, my nose could detect only pepper/chilli for a couple hours, and I could faintly detect the cocoa coming out a bit more as time went on, and this is not a sweet creamy chocolate, its raw cocoa which, many of you will know, is more spicy than sweet. Anyway I can say I have never liked any of L'artisans that ive tried so far, but I think this brand just likes to do things that are really off the wall and different, so yes this one is unique and in a league of its own, but it just doesnt do anything for me. This also only lasted a few hours, an issue I gather is commonly annoying to L'artisan fans.

Green and spicy but there is something noxious about it: Hungarian paprika, carnation and freezerburn. Layered it with another chocolate heartnote scent, and now my arm smells like a Polish supermarket.

Œwietny Zapach!! Doœæ trwa³y i bardzo oryginalny. W zapachu jest wyczuwalny mak, który, moim zdaniem, odpowiada za kobiecoœæ tej kompozycji.

Imagine cutting a fresh red bell pepper and then rubbing the juice all over your skin, this is what piment brulant smells like to me. The vanilla and cocoa and mention of an aztec love potion sound great don't they, well those notes are undetectable, just juicy red pepper.

Got a small vial of this for my birthday. Sprayed in the morning and I could still smell it in the evening. Subtle but not overpowering and very long-lasting. Notes of pepper followed by chocolate. This is my new favorite scent!

Wow! I really love this scent. I've only just tried it for the first time so will have to use up whole sample to see if I would still purchase a bottle but this is really sexy and beautiful. I haven't found a scent that I haven't gotten tired of after a sample is finished...this might THE ONE.

I received a sample of this--it sounded much like something I'd like. The top notes were lovely on this interesting scent, but dried down to a very strong musk on my skin--to overpowering for my taste.

This whispers of the sweet-floral-spiciness of CDG's Carnation, without the intense powdery notes that made me stop wearing it. Any hint of cloves in anything aside from a pomander, usually makes me a little ill, but there is just a suggestion of it here, to warm the fragrance, and the chocolate here is as it should be: more bittersweet than candy-sweet. Like a rich, dark, moleʹ, or a delectable chutney astride a spicy curry dish, this is a delicious fragrance, with more aroma than just scent. Your palette will be pleased with the edible notes, and you will fall in love with the quietly musky, ambered floral. Gorgeous.

I was wearing a strong vanilla scent (Jalaine) and decided to layer this over it, thinking the pepper might give it an interesting edge. Wow! Loved the combo. Later, I tried the Piment Brulant alone and found it to be interesting and intriguing. I really like the pepper, even though I was skeptical. Gave it a 4 because it's not quite a "must-have", but almost....

Oh goodness, this smells good. Complex, green and rich at the same time. My only beef (and the reason that it has four stars and not five) is that it disappears so very quickly. I smell chocolate, spices, pepper, all swirling and mixing, with one then another coming to the fore as the scent settles. Gorgeous!

I came *this* close to purchasing this fragrance at an Artisan store in SoHo, but wound up going home with Timbuktu instead. The clerk gave me some samples of this one though, and when I first apply it, it's all pepper and no chocoalte. The chocolate and cloves come out after 10-15 minutes, blending with the pepper. So I wait a little while before leaving my apartment with it on.

I really wanted to like this... but I really hate it. If someone else was wearing it I would stay as far away from them as I could. It smells so bitter on me and reminds me of the bad tasting serum my parents used to paint on my fingers to keep me from sucking my thumb when I was a child. It's very medicinal and strange.

This is my favorite L'Artisan fragrance. It is so unique. It is spicy, slightly woodsy, green, and slightly sweet all at once. I have received so many compliments on it. Additionally, this one lasts all day long. You will not regret this purchase!

Angela -Attorney from New Haven, CT

definitely a green fragrance. normally i am an amber spice incense girl but this is very interesting ...yes i smell pepper... i used to visit seaside florida and there was a lush forest nearby.. this takes me back to that scent immediately. and this is exactly what a great perfume should do!

Imagine the sharp green scent of cutting into a pepper, combine that with the woody, powdery, dry but sexy scent of pure cocoa, add a pinch of sweet amber, and there you have it. It's remarkably fresh and red and green but the drydown is sexy and warm and slightly spicy...like arbol chiles.

Top notes aren't doing it for me... the initial twang is too sour/acid/icky-weird-sweet... I'm waiting... It may be that for me, this particular kind of spicy is not compatible with sweet foody scents. It's not bad, but it sure doesn't smell on me the way it apparently does to the other "noses".

All I smell here is the pepper-warm, rich, earthy, exciting, sensual, and drop-dead sexy. I'm sure the other scents are there, hidden behind the fresh pepper siren call of this scent; enhancing it subtley. I swear this one is calling my name! Not for everyone, definitly sample this one first.

JK - from LA

What a surprise! This is amazing. The chocolate notes are subtle, just a tiny hint of creaminess enveloped in the ambery musk on the drydown. It's more about the fresh peppery-ness (I don't care if it's not a real word!) here, and without the cheatsheet for the notes I wouldn't know what the sweet smoky notes were. Piment Brulant makes me think of what the heroines of the films "Chocolat" and "Like Water For Chocolate" would have smelled like. Sexy AND earthy, oh yesssss....

WONDERFUL!! This is a fresh, mainly green fragrance...It's easy to imagine yourself sunnily strolling through a morning vegetable market with a sack of fresh peppers...the chocolate is really subtle, so if that's what your looking for, skip it.

Wow-the first L'Artisan fragrance that is "love at first sniff" for me. Fresh green and red bell peppers mingled together with cocoa powder on the drydown. Doesn't sound appealing, but it does work, and the lasting power is incredible.

Superb unisex fragrance. Hot pepper and chocolate make for a suprisingly refreshing and light perfume, one of l'Artisan's very best. Unique and completely addictive. Now, if only luckyscent started selling Bois Farine, they'd have all of l'Artisan's best fragrances (along with Dzing!).
