Being that Peppercorn is my Mom's absolute favorite scent, I had to tell a fibber that I may or may not be getting it because I know she'd snag it from me and I couldn't have that... sorry Mom! Peppercorn was a unique and complex fragrance to me.  The only description I could find in an Aromatique brochure says:

"Warm your home with this festive spicy fragrance"

I wish the ingredients would have been described a little more because I can't make out a thing.  It smells outdoorsy to me, spicy yes but the spice is not overpowering at all. Honestly, I think they should change the name to, The Smell of Fall Candle because it really is a perfect fall fragrance. I feel like such a schmuck for not being able to describe this scent for you but seriously folks, it's not an easy one.  I sniffed this thing till I practically burned my nose trying to break it down and I couldn't. It just plain and simply smells like fall, it smells of crisp windy days with orange leaves blowing through the air.  It smells like you're outside on a lovely fall day.

My Peppercorn candle was on the smaller side, 5.3oz. I burned this candle in my large bathroom and the scent was light although did fragrance the entire room and I could smell it as soon as I walked in the room.  If you like your candles strong, my suggestion would be to go with a larger size candle which I know all their fragrances come in a variety of sizes and styles.

My experience with Aromatique fragrances has been pretty consistent.  The majority are unique and can't be picked apart. That's really not a bad thing unless you're me trying to describe the fragrance for you.  It's not a bakery scent and it's not a harvest type scent either because I can't smell any specific spice or cinnamon. It smells like the real thing - fall. Go try one for yourself and you'll see what I mean.
