Origin

Pink pepper is sourced from the dried berries of the Schinus molle or Schinus terebinthifolia trees, native to South America. The berries are steam-distilled or CO2-extracted to obtain the essential oil used in perfumery.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use pink pepper primarily as a top note to add sparkle and a modern spicy twist to compositions. It blends well with citrus, florals, woods, and other spices, enhancing both fresh and warm accords.
