Pomelo is the largest natural citrus fruit in the world, a friendlier, sweeter grapefruit, and in Poivre Pomelo it turns on the sunshine with its partner in crime, tingly timut pepper. Vibrant timut is a berry with an electric grapefruit buzz, and together they sparkle up the osmanthus and peony at the heart of this EdP. A textured background of vetiver and maté gives it gravitas. An olfactory composition inspired by a David Hockney painting, Portrait of an Artist, with its luminous polychromatic landscape.
Perfumer: Marie Hugentobler
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The register is alert and informal: freshly showered after a morning workout, then settling into a busy day. Grapefruit and Timut pepper keep the mood bright and brisk, while the dry maté–vetiver backdrop gives that freshness enough texture to feel considered rather than sporty.
How to wear
A natural choice for spring and warm days, when its citrus and pepper facets suit lighter clothing. Start with two sprays on the neck and forearms; the aim is a bright accent rather than a dense cloud. In close indoor settings, apply lightly and let the woody, tea-like base provide the quieter counterpoint.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy grapefruit’s tartness but want more texture than a straightforward citrus cologne. Its peppery opening, soft floral heart and dry maté–vetiver base will appeal to tastes that favor brisk, lightly bitter freshness over sweetness.

The nose
Marie Hugentobler composed Poivre Pomelo and three other fragrances in Atelier Materi’s debut collection through the house’s collaboration with Cosmo International Fragrances. Here, she explores Timut pepper’s grapefruit-like facets, drawing out its sparkling bite against the drier textures of vetiver and maté.
Collaborators
Founder Véronique Le Bihan contributed the artistic reference behind the fragrance’s bright, multicolored atmosphere: David Hockney’s painting Portrait of an Artist. Her creative collaboration with Cosmo International Fragrances provided the framework for the debut collection, including Hugentobler’s Poivre Pomelo.
Atelier Materi’s story
Atelier Materi builds each fragrance around a central natural material, revealing its textures and unexpected facets through contrast. Its philosophy of slow luxury gives time to composition and craftsmanship rather than chasing trends. A mineral aesthetic rooted in Brittany connects the perfumes with the house’s tactile bottles and handmade caps.
Poivre Pomelo’s concept
Part of Atelier Materi’s original five-fragrance collection, Poivre Pomelo explores the grapefruit-like sparkle of Himalayan Timut pepper. Its luminous contrasts draw inspiration from David Hockney’s Portrait of an Artist, translating a multicolored landscape into citrus, spice and a textured foundation of vetiver and maté.
Extra info
Timut pepper is a Himalayan berry prized here for its naturally grapefruit-like nuances, making the perfume’s citrus-and-spice pairing especially closely connected. The deep-blue bottle evokes Brittany’s stormy waters, while its handmade concrete cap and golden patina recall coastal stone.
