Really, my husband should be writing this review, since he uses this product every day. I love it, however, because it smells so wonderful. I'd call it "a handsome scent," because it's strong without being overpowering, and it's a warm scent, without being feminine in any way. He used this product first on our honeymoon, provided by our B&B, and hasn't stopped using it since. Expensive, but a little goes a long way (I think he uses about a dime sized amount per day).

I gave this product to my boyfriend for his birthday and both of us are thrilled with the purchase. A friend recommended it to me because it is her stepfather's favorite scent and thought my boyfriend might enjoy it as well. The scent is very true to its description. It is spicy and masculine without being overpowering. This was a plus to me when buying it for my boyfriend because I often find male grooming products to be too heavily perfumed. This one succeeded at having a distinguishable aroma without being over powering, a perfect compromise. My boyfriend enjoys that it cleans well and smells great while he's in the shower. I appreciate that I the scent has longevity so I can often continue to smell it distinctly long after he has been out of the shower. I never noticed this before with the body washes and face washes he previously used. The only thing I will say about it was that my boyfriend did comment that the scent was "different" and probably not something he would have picked out himself. This is largely subjective of course. However, a man who is not adventurous in his scents may not want to take a risk on this product. Overall, it's a great product and while pricy, delivers a wonderful scent for the money.

Don't be put off by the major ingredient here, I think a lot of people would assume Black Pepper would not smell very nice and would be way to hot and caustic against the skin, but not so.
It has a refreshing zingyness that wakes you up gently so it is perfect for your early morning shower. It gives you a gentle and tender glow that feels warming and invigorating but not remotely burning. It has a spicey, subtle fragrance which is not unlike old fashioned cologne. Not unpleasant and not overpowering.
It feels like a good deep cleanser too and has a real luxury quality. It also goes a long long way, I recommend this product particularly for men, it's lovley for the face after shaving. Also, if you have never tried Molton Brown products before then you are in for a treat, they do what they say with more than a touch of luxury.

I first tried the Molton Brown Black Pepper BodyWash in a little sampler I got for a birthday. I loved the fragrance so this year I requested it for Christmas. I love the smell. It clings to you for a couple of hours after the shower and would make an excellent layering fragrance with something like Bvlgari Black. The scent is a bit spicy like pepper with a afterbite of something woodsy like silverbirch. Warm, tangy and invigorating. Great scent to wake up to!

My son bought this for me and I love it! It is truely a unisex fragrance. I have purchased more since and also the eau de toilet. I don't care much for floral fragrances. Black Pepper is refreshing, clean and invigoating!! You really need to try it!

I discovered this product at Harrod's in London and was excited to find it for sale on Amazon. It's expensive but totally worth it. The earthy, sharp, subtle black pepper scent runs laps around the lame scents they use for men's body wash in commercial U.S. brands. (The black pepper cologne is pretty awesome, too - like Antidote by Viktor & Rolf but without the heavy floral undertow.) This body wash is very potent and it's easy to over-apply, so I mix it half-and-half with water and put it in a cheap $1 spray bottle from the container store. Two squirts into a sponge or washcloth provides enough suds for an entire shower.

Ran across this product while buying shaving soap. The "Black Pepper" got my attention and although I thought it was pretty pricey I decided to try it. Although my vocabulary is weak when it comes to describing scents, I would say this was refreshingly masculine and aromatic. Leaves me feeling very fresh without being overpowering. Can't say any females at work have come rushing up to me to tear my clothes off while screaming to know what the scent is but my wife has said she finds it quite nice. If you're on the fence as whether to try it or not I'd say to go ahead and pamper yourself. I think you'll like it.

I saw this product on DetailsForMen.com and figured I'd see what this was about since it got glowing reviews. Everyone is right,this stuff is great! I figured showering with pepper would be odd but hey, why not. I was getting tired of the 'Mountain Fresh" and "Sport" scents anyway.

The scent is not overpowering and you can feel the warming powers of it as soon as you start to lather up. I definitely feel more invigorated in the morning but it could just me playing mind games with myself. A little goes a long way so start off small. First time I used it, I put way more than I needed to.

My only real 'complaint' is that the bottle is a bit small (300 ml) for the price compared to your normal department store products. I realize this is a premium product, but being a guy I'm not use to paying a lot for things like this. Was it worth it? Yes but a bit of sticker shock is all I'm saying. If you're on the fence about the product, I'm telling you that you won't be disappointed.

I got this for my husband for Christmas last year, and he requested it again this year. He was really happy to find it in his Christmas stocking!

I have been won over. Gone are my cheap, super market body washes. This smells and feels great. (Black pepper isn't the aspect I'd highlight, as it's a pleasantly musky, but mild scent and not overly peppery on the nose.) And a little can go a long way, so I think it's worth the price.
