A dash of pepper in perfumes creates a spicy shift towards an enticing sensual-aroma. Pleasant in salt pipes or a diffuser to fight fatigue, rev respiration and maximize mental focus. Pungent pepper possesses plenty of phytochemicals including terpinoid hydrocarbons, piperine, pinene, caryophyllene, limonene, sabinene, phellandrene, oleoresins, and alkaloids. This cosmic combination creates a fortifying fragrance that emits a warm, penetrating aroma that is intellectually invigorating and increases concentration. These warming qualities make pepper a respected rubefacient that is beneficial in massage to assuage and energize. Moreover, pepper’s spicy secretions are prized in perfumery for making fiery, sensual accords and musky aromas.

It has been described as an aphrodisiac, probably due to its powerful stimulating effect.” ~ Julia Lawless, Aromatherapy and the Mind “Such epithets, like pepper, give zest to what you write; And, if you strew them sparely, they whet the appetite: But if you lay them on too thick, you spoil the matter quite! ~ Lewis Carroll, Poeta Fit, Non Nascitur
