Indian white pepper absolute is derived from the ripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant. The berries are soaked and their outer skin removed, revealing the white seed from which the absolute is extracted, typically through a solvent extraction method. This process yields a potent, highly concentrated aromatic oil.
The scent profile of Indian white pepper absolute is complex and nuanced. It features a piquant, spicy aroma characteristic of pepper but with a cleaner and crisper note compared to its black counterpart. There is a subtle warmth and a slight earthy undertone that lends a depth to its overall fragrance. The scent is also marked by hints of woodiness and a faintly musky finish, making it a unique and versatile addition to various fragrance formulations. Its sharp and invigorating qualities make it popular in both perfumery and aromatherapy, often used to add a fresh, peppery kick to scent compositions and to energize and uplift the senses.
