Smells of: spicy, citrusy
Role: top note, spice

Sichuan Pepper CO₂ Extract opens with a bright, zesty spiciness that is both fresh and slightly citrusy, reminiscent of the pepper itself but with a more complex, herbal undertone. As it develops, the warmth of the spice deepens, revealing a subtle, almost numbing quality that adds an intriguing dimension to the scent. This extract works well in a formula by enhancing the overall freshness and adding a unique, piquant character that can elevate both floral and fruity compositions. It pairs nicely with citrus notes and can also complement woody bases, providing a lively contrast. Typically, it is used at doses ranging from 0.040% to 0.22%, with a common usage around 0.135%.
