History: The word pepper is derived from the Latin word piper, which in turn is taken from the Sanskrit word pippali.

Cautions: Black Pepper Essential Oil may cause irritation to sensitive skins and using too much could over-stimulate the kidneys and should be avoided in pregnancy due to its possible skin sensitizing effect.

I was very hesitant about purchasing this scent, so I got the sample size. All I can say is AWESOME! Sometimes I sneak to the workroom just to smell this, smells exactly like freshly cracked peppercorns. A little goes a very long way in soap!

This is a really nice middle note. It's particularly good for rounding out scents that are too sweet, sharp, or spicy. This scent is warm and very pleasant. I highly recommend it, especially for making men's cologne.

A wonderful spicy smell that compliments almost any essential oil. Mix a bit with some of your body lotion to keep you warm on your way to work in the winter (careful with this one until you know how sensitive you are). There is a sweetness to it that almost reminds me of chocolate. Overall, a pleasant surprise for an initial skeptic. Great quality and price ND. By the way guys, do not do what I did and get overeager when the jar arrives by practically shoving the bottle up your nose. Tears and redness will be your future for the following 10 minutes. Trust me!

When you smell that one at first you can't beleive it... that is the whole goodness of pepper aroma without the stignyness. I admit I was a little shy to smell it with the "official technique" that is opening the cap and smelling the content from close to far in both nostrils. This oil is so thin and pure, it's a wonder, I'm so curious to try the organic kind to see the difference, in my experience this is very hard to beat ! It has a medium penetrating odor, very volatile, from a little distance it shows its full spice character as it disapears with a trail of stimulating sensation. Then with some distance it smells fresh and jungly ; rich and damp green undertones.

I bought black pepper as an experiment. Could it really warm up the body? Diluting it with olive oil, I rubbed it on my cold hands. To my astonishment, it worked!

I wasn't sure if I'd like this one or not but I read a lot of formulas that included black pepper and decided to try it. To my surprise I really like it! It doesn't smell quite as "harsh" as a jar full of peppercorns, but you can definitely tell it's black pepper.

Frankly, I bought this because if was the cheapest of the peppers that I could try. I've seen many toiletry recipes that call for pepper essential oil and was afraid I wouldn't care for the scent, so I went with the cheap one. Much to my suprise, this is a delightful oil. The oil has a dry, spicy smell to it, somewhat similar to fennel. I think this will become one of my favorites in creating new scent blends. So far I have been very pleased with the quality of all of the essential oils I have purchased from New Directions. If you you are considering purchasing essential oils for the first time, you can stop looking now. Go ahead and buy them here and ta lot of money at other places, getting inferior essential oils. The prices here on some oils are suprisingly low, and the others are definitely competitive.

What a fantastic oil! I bought it to treat neuralgia, arthritic and muscular pain. I expected this EO to have a very sharp scent that would be of limited aromatic use. I'm happy to say that the scent - while certainly peppery - is not sharp or overpowering at all. In fact, I've started wearing it as a single note fragrance. It's also AMAZING in combination with other EOs: clove, cinnamon, ginger, orange oils, frankincense, cedarwood... Black pepper oil also seems to "ground" other fragrances in the way benzoin oil does, but without altering or sacrificing its own scent; it just ties the fragrance together. For those who have never tried this oil, it DOES smell like fresh peppercorns that have not yet been ground or cracked, with a slight fruity backnote. And it does work very well in combination with other oils in treating neuralgia, arthritis and sore muscles. Yet another New Directions EO I won't ever be able to live without!

I love the smell of black pepper...not the cheap powdery kind that comes out of a shaker, but the real stuff...where you take the peppercorns and grind them in a grinder. This EO is just like that...pure pepper scent. Love it.
