At least I hadn't until incorporating with my sensual favorites like Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Patchouli... I was aware of its magical properties of inviting prosperity, but it has a way of deepening an otherwise lovely but less complex blend. Try alongside orange for a surprising "twist".

I have added black pepper to our signature blend of essential oils (sorry, can't divulge secret formula) but must say I may never go back to the days before black pepper EO. Have done blind sniff tests of soap with and without, thus far 100% prefer the addition of black pepper. Also agree this EO adds a warmth that defies any real description, must be experienced!
Unconditionally recommend!

Black Pepper EO helps to intensify blends and adds a bit of spice to sweet scents. I also like the fact that it helps to stimulate circulation. This is a great oil and is at the best price that I was able to find.

In the bottle, the subtleties didn't come forth, but when I blended it with some citrus oils and some stabilizing ingredients in a perfume blend I got a wonderful, spicy-prickly top note that made me go "Mmmmmmm." Recommended.

Black Pepper doesn't sound like a great candidate to add to scents, but this oil can really change it up in a positive way. Not over powering, but can round out a fragrance just right or camoflauge some sweetness if needed. Great price too...goes a long way.

This is an essential oil that you will have so much fun experimenting with! I have used it with blends with peppermint, ginger, rosemary and floral essential oils. I challenge anyone to NOT love it!!

A little goes a long way with Black Pepper EO: work with amounts less than 1% to get a spicy strong note that seems familiar but difficult to place. Black Pepper enriches combinations with an earthy spicey scent and seems to take the cloy nature that can be observed in some lesser quality fragrance oils. Black Pepper EO worked well in a Basil EO and Citrus FO combo I did in Hot Process Soap.Scent is true and obvious after 2 months.

If you've never smelled black pepper essential oil, you have to smell it to understand. I expected a very sharp, spicy, pepper aroma but what I experienced instead was a surprisingly sweet, "warm" smell with only subtle hints of spiciness. This is a truly intoxicating oil that has contributed amazing complexity to many of my newest aroma recipes.

This Black Pepper EO is not only warm and spicy, but it also has a bit of an herbal element and a lovely, slightly floral note. Less than .5% in soap creates a familiar aroma - but with some surpises, too. My customers love it!
