Pink Peppercorns (Schinus molle)

Pink peppercorns, the rosy and spicy top note from Peru

Pink peppercorns are the dried berries of Schinus molle, the Peruvian pepper tree, grown in Peru. Despite their name they are not related to black pepper: the small pink to red berries have a sweet, fruity, rosy and gently peppery scent with a resinous, slightly piney undertone. Primegreen supplies whole dried pink peppercorns in bulk as a raw material for perfumery, cosmetics and flavor applications.

Why perfumers and formulators choose pink peppercorns

Pink pepper has become one of the signature top notes of modern perfumery. The berries are rich in volatile terpenes, mainly alpha phellandrene, limonene, beta phellandrene, myrcene and alpha pinene, which give a sparkling, fresh and spicy opening with a rosy, fruity facet that softens into a woody base. Pink pepper pairs well with rose, bergamot, cardamom, iris, cedarwood, vetiver and ambrette, and it lifts floral, chypre, woody and fougère compositions. The berries are used for essential oil and CO2 extraction, tinctures and macerations, and in cosmetics for infused oils and scrubs with a warm, spicy signature. In food, they bring a mild, fruity peppery note to seasonings and finishing blends.
