The smell of pink pepper is completely different from black pepper. In fact, pink pepper is a pink berry that comes from the evergreen tree, Schinus molle, and is unrelated to the black pepper, Piper nigrum. Pink pepper has a spicy-sweet, slightly floral, dry, fresh scent with hints of angelica and juniper. Pink pepper adds surprising spicy, radiant top notes that go especially well with floral, woody, and citrus notes.
