Dreams infuse life into our lives…Some dream of academic success, some of excellence in sports and yet some others of finding their love…whether its professional calling or personal goals, most desirable dreams are made up of bright and cheerful scenes. The olfactory senses make the brain visualise such scenes, as you inhale your favourite perfume. One such scent that the mind recognises as cheerful and bright is Pink Peppercorn which has a spicy, woody-cum-rosy smell.
Pink Peppercorn aka Peruvian Pepper, American Pepper, Escobilla, rose pepper, Pirul and Baies Roses is a favoured element in “She” perfumes. It’s a native of the Peruvian Andes and must not be confused in any way with the Southeast Asian Black Peppercorn that we are all familiar with, though it has since been planted at various places across the globe. The pink coloured berry of the Schinus Molle tree has limited culinary use and is used as a spice or to add flavour to drinks and syrups. However, Pink Peppercorn is widely used in traditional medicine to treat a number of ailments as well as a natural insecticide for pest control.
It is extracted using a modern method in which carbon dioxide in a ‘supercritical state’ picks up the aroma as it passes through the dried berries and not through the traditional extraction method of crushing the berries. This soft extraction technique produces a pure aroma with prominent top notes. The rosy nuance in Pink Peppercorn gives it a feminine touch and ensures that the scent floats in the air long after the lady has left, to keep reminding you of her presence. However, the sharp, peppery and spicy scent in this ingredient makes it suitable for use in gentlemen’s perfumes as well.
