Esenciálny olej čierneho korenia – sada 10 × 10 ml

On a grey afternoon, a drop of Black Pepper oil warmed in a diffuser adds a sharp, warm, spicy note to a room, the kind of scent that feels at home in a winter blend alongside citrus or wood. Steam-distilled from the dried, crushed berries of Piper nigrum grown in India, it is one of the most widely traded spices in history.

Symbolism

Black pepper travelled the ancient spice routes between India, the Middle East and Europe for centuries, at times valued highly enough to be used almost as currency. In folk tradition it is often linked to vitality and protection, and today many people use it in warming winter blends or to add a spicy backbone to woodier personal fragrances.

How to use

• Diffuse in small amounts blended with citrus, wood or resin oils for a warming accord.
• Dilute well in a carrier oil before skin contact, as pepper oil can be intense; patch test first.
• Do not ingest, and keep away from children and pets.
• Check with a doctor before use in pregnancy.
