ERREUR 404

The mandarin and black pepper combo genuinely surprised me—it’s bright but has this warm, spicy kick that lasts a couple of hours on my hands. The tube is small but a little goes a long way, and the vetiver keeps it from smelling like a candy shop.

This little tube has a proper grown-up scent with the yellow mandarin and vetiver balancing out that kick of black pepper. It sinks in fast and leaves my hands feeling soft without any greasy residue, though I do wish the tinier writing on the label was easier to read.

The black pepper note really comes through underneath the mandarine, so it’s fresh but with a proper kick. The cream sinks in fast without feeling greasy, and that weird little washing machine joke on the tube made me laugh every time I used it.
