Green Pepper CO₂ Total Extract is a rich aromatic extract obtained from the unripe green peppercorns of Piper nigrum using supercritical CO₂ extraction. Unlike a simple essential oil, a CO₂ Total Extract captures both the volatile aromatic compounds and heavier lipophilic constituents naturally present in the peppercorn, creating a fuller, deeper, and more complex botanical profile.
Aromatically, Green Pepper CO₂ Total Extract offers a fresh, spicy, green, peppery aroma with warm woody, slightly fruity, resinous, and earthy undertones. It is brighter and fresher than black pepper, with a crisp green spice character that adds energy, warmth, and sophistication to natural perfumery, massage blends, body oils, balms, and luxury aromatic formulations.
In perfumery, this extract works beautifully as a spicy-green modifier for citrus, woods, resins, florals, leather accords, chypre compositions, masculine fragrances, and incense-inspired blends. In cosmetic formulations, it may be used at low levels for its aromatic character and skin-conditioning botanical profile.
