Above The perfect Father's Day gift, Recharge Black Pepper incorporates hints of piquant pepper, nuances of bergamot and the zesty bite of myrtle pepper
Crafted by legendary Grasse-born perfumer Jacques Chabert (the brains behind Molton Brown's most recognisable creations) the fragrance is inspired by what he calls 'the bold spirit of adventure' and his lifelong passion for 'bridging the chasm between citrus and woody fragrances.'
Recharge Black Pepper opens with a thrilling shot of piquant pepper, softened by nuances of bergamot and intensified by the zesty bite of myrtle pepper. 'The dry-down reveals its voluptuous oakmoss and woody depth,' Chabert adds, like a fine suit that surprises you with secret pockets.

If, like Chabert, you believe in the power of scent in making a lasting impression and that perfume is a tool of self-expression, you'll appreciate the dedication and meticulous crafting that went into this collection all the more. Interestingly, the Re-Charge Black Pepper fragrance began simply as Chabert's personal fragrance in 2001—since becoming a best-selling range that's timeless and desirable.
The range delivers a sensorial expedition in three acts: Cleanse with the invigorating Bath and Shower Gel, wear the Eau De Parfum with earthy vetiver and herby coriander at its heart, or live the scent fully with a home diffuser that turns any home into a gentleman's lodge in the Scottish Highlands (imagination required, whisky optional).
