Pimento Berry

Pimento berry, also known as allspice, is a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet fragrance note with a complex profile reminiscent of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Its scent adds a rich, aromatic warmth to perfumes, evoking a sense of comfort and exotic allure. Pimento berry is often used as a middle or base note, bringing depth and a subtle spiciness to compositions. It pairs well with other spices, woods, and florals, enhancing the overall richness and sophistication of a fragrance.

History & Production: Pimento berry comes from the dried, unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica tree, which is native to the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried berries, capturing their unique, spicy-sweet aroma. Allspice has been used for centuries in both culinary and medicinal applications due to its warming and aromatic properties. In perfumery, pimento berry continues to be valued for its ability to add a warm, exotic spice that enriches and deepens fragrance compositions, making them more dynamic and alluring.
