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.
