Pink pepper, or ‘pink peppercorn’ (baies roses in French), comes from the bright red berries of the Brazilian pepper tree and the Peruvian pepper tree. But despite the similarities in naming conventions, it shares little in common with black pepper – a culinary wonder spice that tingles the nose – or any other pepper for that matter. Instead, pink pepper is a much happier note, a bright rosy aroma with just the right amount of heat. The note may also come across as sharp, powdery, sweet, and fresh.
Known for its exotic and uplifting qualities, pink pepper is a very much welcome ingredient in modern perfumery, particularly among more ‘feminine’ florals or citrus scents. It adds a soft piquancy and familiar warmth which beautifully brings out the softer notes usually found in such blends. Of course, the fact that it’s a fiery little thing also helps give a kick to deeper scents like woods and incense (frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, and the like).
Evocative and alluring, pink pepper perfumes are the perfect way to add a touch of spice to your life – starting with Chanel’s Chance Eau de Parfum. This is a chypre floral scent for women with top notes of pink pepper, heart notes of jasmine and iris, along with a warm base of patchouli, musk, and vanilla. Overall, it’s fairly spicy and peppery – perfect for summertime fun. Then there’s Gucci Guilty Eau de Parfum. This is an excellent example of how pink pepper can (and should) be used. Guilty first opens with pink pepper, lavender, and lemon. In the heart of this scent lies a bouquet of aphrodisiac orange blossom enriched further by earthy cedarwood.
You’ll also find pink pepper in Dior’s Miss Dior Cherie (2017 version). This pink pepper perfume for women starts sweet and spicy with pink pepper (of course) and lychee, before introducing us to an intoxicating floral combination of Damascena and May roses. Rosewood and vanilla offer the perfect touches. Beautiful, elegant, refreshing, and sweet, Miss Dior Cherie is easily one of the best flankers in Dior’s iconic feminine fragrance line.
