La Reunion Pink Pepper

La Réunion pink pepper, often referred to as "pink peppercorns," predominantly originates from the island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Despite the name, it's not a true peppercorn but rather the dried berry of the Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius). The scent profile of La Réunion pink pepper is uniquely aromatic, combining a subtle fruity spiciness with floral and citrus notes. It is less pungent than black or white pepper. Its aroma is often described as lightly peppery with hints of juniper and a fresh, somewhat sweet undertone. This makes it a favorite for perfumers, who appreciate its ability to add a bright, spicy accent to fragrances, bringing a contemporary twist and vibrant energy. In perfumery, it's used to create contrast, enhance floral or citrus notes, or introduce an exotic, spicy element without overwhelming the senses.
