About this material
Pepperwood has a warm, spicy aroma that opens with a bright, peppery freshness reminiscent of black pepper, but with a softer, woodier undertone. As it develops, the scent reveals a rich, resinous quality that adds depth and complexity, evoking a sense of warmth and earthiness. In a formula, it acts as a bridge between fresh and woody notes, enhancing the overall richness without overpowering other elements. It pairs well with citrus and aromatic herbs, as well as deeper woods and resins, making it versatile for both masculine and unisex fragrances. The typical usage in this catalogue is around 1.100%, with a range from 0.355% to 3.15%.
