Pink pepper gives perfume a bright, rosy-spiced opening rather than the dry heat of black pepper. Its character is lightly citrusy, aromatic and sparkling, with a soft berry-like impression that keeps the effect airy. In a fragrance pyramid, it is most often used near the top, where it quickly adds lift and definition before the heart emerges.
Among women's fragrances, pink pepper works especially well with rose, jasmine and other florals, as well as bergamot, musk, cedar and smooth woods. It can sharpen a clean floral, brighten a woody composition or add contrast to creamy and musky accords. Look here if you enjoy fragrances that open with energy and polish, then settle into a softer, more rounded character.
