Pink Pepper
Pink pepper is not actually a pepper · it is the dried berry of the Brazilian pepper tree, with a sweet-spicy aroma that lifts compositions without the heat of true black pepper.
About Pink Pepper
Pink pepper (Schinus molle and S. terebinthifolius) yields a small rose-coloured berry whose volatile oil reads as warm, sparkling, and lightly fruity-spicy. Despite the name, it is botanically unrelated to true pepper · closer to cashew. The note exploded in popularity in fragrance from 2010 onwards, becoming a signature opening in Le Labo's Rose 31, Maison Francis Kurkdjian compositions, and countless modern niche launches. It softens the harshness of black pepper while adding more complexity than simple citrus. Pink pepper is grown commercially in Madagascar, Brazil, and Réunion.
