Pink Pepper

Pink pepper is a highly aromatic spice derived from the dried berries of the Schinus tree. In perfumery, it is prized for its vibrant, sparkling, and slightly rosy scent with warm, woody, and peppery undertones. It is often used to add brightness, movement, and a subtle spiciness to fragrance compositions.
