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.

Smells exactly like black peppercorns. Very true pepper smell. The Green is a little sweeter smelling and the White has a bite to it. I love them all !

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.

Sharp black scent with a great use for holding together the rest of the fragrence-- I've used with basil for an awakening bath oil and with peppermint for a suprisingly effective natural pest control spray

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.
