The aroma of one the most favored of all culinary spices is captured in our Black Pepper essential oil - fresh, dry-woody, warm, spicy, somewhat sharp like that of freshly ground Black Pepper. The dry/woody spiciness is reminiscent not only of the dried black fruits but also of other essential oils with high terpene/sesquiterpene content.
Black Pepper essential oil is used in minute quantities in perfumery in a manner similar to how ground Black Pepper is used in food - to pique the interest with the opening (top) notes of the perfume and to add depth to the overall composition. It affords interesting nuances to any floral bouquet and blends well with almost all oils, as long as only very small amounts are used, as the aroma strength of this oil is quite pronounced; a 10-15 percent dilution is recommended when working with small (low volume) formulas. Black Pepper is used in Carnation compositions along with Clove Bud and with floral notes such as Jasmine, Rose and Ylang Ylang. It is also considered an aphrodisiac, particularly when expertly blended with other essential oils.
Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is possibly one of the oldest trade commodities of the East1 where it has been in continuous use for over 4,000 years for medicinal and culinary purposes. It was so highly prized throughout the ancient civilized world that in 408 CE, Attila the Hun reputedly demanded 3,000 pounds of black peppercorns as part of the ransom for the city of Rome.
Black pepper is the only essential oil that has been shown to significantly increase epinephrine levels on inhalation (Haze et al 2002) and so might be useful where lethargy is a problem, but perhaps not if anxiety is high. Source
