Pink Pepper Leaves

Pink pepper leaves are a fresh and aromatic fragrance note with a green, spicy scent profile that carries subtle fruity and slightly woody undertones. Their aroma is lively, crisp, and slightly peppery, adding an invigorating and exotic quality to perfumes. Pink pepper leaves impart a vibrant, green character and are often used as a top or middle note to bring freshness and complexity to fragrance compositions. They pair beautifully with floral, citrus, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, dynamic, and full of character.

History & Production: Pink pepper leaves come from the Schinus molle or pink pepper tree, native to South America. While the berries are commonly used for their spicy-fruity aroma, the leaves provide a fresh, green spiciness. In perfumery, pink pepper leaves are often recreated synthetically or through the extraction of the fresh leaves, capturing their unique, green-peppery scent. They are valued for their ability to add a crisp, herbaceous depth that enhances the natural and vibrant appeal of fragrances, evoking a sense of freshness and exotic greenery.
