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!

FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it.

If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer.

After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames.
