Ingredient Spotlight: Pink Peppercorn Essential Oil

At ESAS NYC, every fragrance tells a story, and some ingredients speak louder than others. Pink Peppercorn essential oil is one of those rare botanicals: fresh, warm, and irresistibly vibrant, it brings a unique elegance to our scent compositions.

A Botanical with History

Derived from Schinus molle, a fast-growing, drought-resistant evergreen tree native to the Andes Mountains of Peru, Pink Peppercorn carries both heritage and character. Known also as the Brazilian or Peruvian Pepper, it found its way to California and the American Southwest thanks to Spanish colonials, thriving in sun-soaked landscapes. Today, this exotic fruit is cherished worldwide for its aromatic brilliance and versatility, bridging centuries of natural perfumery tradition with modern luxury.

The Scent

Pink Peppercorn is fresh, intensely diffusive, and luminous, with a warmth that feels both comforting and invigorating. Compared to Black Pepper essential oil, it’s more refined - brighter at the top, yet equally compelling in depth.

Its aroma unfolds with:

• Top Notes: Bright, sweet-spicy freshness

• Heart Notes: A delicate, almost ethereal floral nuance

• Base Notes: Dry, woody undertones with subtle smokiness and hints of Angelica and Juniper

This combination makes it a favorite middle-to-top note in natural perfumery, celebrated for its feminine, exotic, and alluring qualities.

From Fruit to Essential Oil

• Plant Part: Fruit

• Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

• Cultivation: Wild Harvested

Pink Peppercorn is a study in contrasts: fresh yet warm, floral yet spicy, soft yet bold. It embodies the essence of ESAS NYC: natural, luxurious, and unforgettable. Every drop elevates a fragrance, leaving a trail of intrigue and elegance that lingers long after the first encounter.
