Overview

Pink Peppercorn Essential Oil

Pink Peppercorn essential oil – similar to, more subdued in scent, and with brighter top notes than that of Black Pepper essential oil – has an aroma that is fresh, very intense, diffusive, dry, warm, and sweet-spicy with a faint floral note, a dry woody, slightly smoky undertone, and back notes resembling Angelica and Juniper. It is a popular middle to top note in natural perfumery for its refreshingly feminine, floral and exotic qualities.

Schinus molle, a fast-growing, drought-resistant evergreen shade tree, is native to the Andes Mountains of Peru and belongs to the cashew family. Referred to as the Brazilian or Peruvian Pepper, Mastic or false pepper, it is also sometimes called the California Pepper, but it is not native. Spanish colonials distributed the trees by seed into North America where they proved particularly well suited to California and the desert Southwest and became prominent during colonial times.1 Today, with renewed interest in rainforest botanicals, Pink Peppercorn has its place among thousands of newly researched plants with worldwide usage.The invigorating and comforting aroma is useful in warming massage blends, chest rubs, and topical preparations.

I like black pepper oil however this is an alternative which is a little more subtle or balanced to alternate between the two

I originally got this a few years ago and it has been one of my favorites ever since. Recently I purchased a larger bottle and I'm noticing that there just seems to be a cheesy macaroni rancid coriander overtone with this batch for some reason.

Smells good Review by
Rating

Smells great but diluted in 10% with ethanol, it became very cloudy. I heard old EOs turn cloudy. It smells good, it’s just the cloudy part that I don’t like about this one.

From the Oil Room:
Thank you for your inquiry! Our current lot of Peppercorn, Pink was distilled in August of 2019 and has a best by date of August 2022 so it is quite fresh. A generic claim that “old EOs turn cloudy” is untrue. If an EO is not cloudy to begin with, it is usually the presence of or introduction of water (especially if you happen to be using low proof alcohol for your dilution), high pinene content, or the precipitation of waxes that causes this phenomenon. Pink Peppercorn falls into the ‘high pinene’ category and is prone to turning cloudy when diluted in alcohol. If you need tips on how to clarify your blend, please check out our Frequently Asked Questions for recommendations on how to filter alcohol based perfumes.

Intoxicating Review by

Agree with other reviewers who identify citrus-like and floral notes in this powerful, complex oil. The spice notes are delightful, much brighter than black peppercorn. A fabulous addition to those working with floral and citrus oils for its ability to bring depth and intrigue!

FANTASTIC addition to blends Review by
Rating

I love the intense terpenic effects of black pepper, but when I want a more subtle touch, pink peppercorn is my go to. Though very terpenic like black pepper, there's a lighter, floral, and lemony citrus scent that lingers, making it a beautiful addition to blends with florals like ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac. Davana and natural decalactone gamma (a peachy, apricot scent) are also nice complements to the spiciness of pink peppercorn. And bergamot with pink peppercorn...yum! A must-have for any natural perfumer's arsenal.

Be very careful using this in a perfume blend. Adding just 1-2 drops of this in its pure form will overpower everything else you have in the blend. Be sure to dilute (I would say absolutely no more than 10% strength) to avoid this issue.

All of those on here saying this doesn’t smell like pepper, or has a more floral scent than a pepper scent...is incorrect! Now this is a great oil, please don’t get me wrong. But, if you get this expecting a floral scent or some pretty scent, you will be disappointed! But get it anyway because it’s excellent for cooking!

the most beautiful of peppercorns Review by
Rating

Eden has consistently blown me away with their black pepper & pink peppercorn offerings. Both are absolutely exquisite and I dare you not to pick up a bottle of each! That being said, the pink peppercorn might be my favorite in its ability to lift florals and citruses into something far more complex and lovely. It is a great tool to keep your blends from becoming sickly sweet as it works in both unisex scents, colognes, and traditional perfumes. Though not as clove-like or herbal as holy basil, it shares some similar qualities and attributes when combined with other notes. Absolutely divine!

This has such a wonderful fruity and floral scent that doesn't resemble black pepper at all. It's important to point out that Schinus molle and Piper nigrum are unrelated.

Comparing it to pink peppercorn from cooking, it is a true representation. Some of the same strong, peppery aroma as black pepper, but more delicate and with a floral note.

The actual pepper note is subdued here, with a prominent, borderline citric (think bergamot) juniper note at the fore. I'd agree that there's a hint of wood as well. All in all very interesting.

A delicate spice. Review by

Dry and pungent, but less bold than Black Pepper, which I'd only had before. This a little woody, and when I smelled it I felt it at the back of my throat. Its great for adding a bit of spice without being overpowering. It blends well with lighter, delicate oils like florals and citrus.
