White Pepper

White Pepper brings a subtle, spicy, and slightly woody aroma to perfumes, providing a refined kick that enhances a fragrance’s complexity. It is less pungent than black pepper, lending a softer and more elegant touch to compositions. This note is perfect for adding warmth and depth, balancing well with florals, woods, and citrus elements. Its crisp, spicy profile makes it a popular choice for creating both masculine and unisex fragrances with a modern, sophisticated twist.

History & Production: White Pepper is derived from the mature seeds of the pepper plant, with the outer layer removed to yield a milder spice. Originally cultivated in India and Southeast Asia, its unique production process imparts a subtler heat compared to black pepper. In perfumery, essential oil or synthetic molecules recreate its distinct scent. White Pepper gained traction as a fragrance note in the 20th century, aligning with the trend of using culinary spices to add complexity and warmth to perfumes.
