Black Pepper Essence No. 2

Original designation: Poivre noir ESS N° 2

Piper nigrum L.

Pepper essence strikes like freshly cracked seed—dry, bright, lemony and woody in one gesture. It lends lift without sweetness and makes surrounding materials feel more sharply cut.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build sparkling spice tops, enrich citrus-pepper accords and introduce modern woods. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • sparkling spice tops
  • citrus-pepper accords
  • modern woods
  • floral contrast

Extraction & expression

An essence belongs to the more volatile, mobile side of the palette. Depending on the botanical, it may come from distillation or—in explicitly expressed citrus grades—from mechanical pressing, bringing immediacy and lift.
