Peruvian Pepper

About

Peruvian pepper smells bright and piquant, offering a sparkling, rosy-fruity spiciness with a warm, resinous undercurrent and a faint camphorous or woody tint that reads both fresh and slightly exotic. It evokes lively, effervescent openings that quickly add a sensual, slightly peppery lift to a fragrance. In perfumery it is used primarily as a top-note accentor to give bite and lift, bridging citrusy and floral leads into spicier or woodier hearts and bases; it pairs especially well with bergamot, rose, sandalwood, amber and gourmand vanillas, and is common in modern chypres, fougères, orientals and fresh florals.
