Product Overview

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.

FANTASTIC addition to blends

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.

nuclear strength

Rating

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.

Smells like...pepper!

Rating

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

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!

Beautiful

Rating

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.
