Red Sichuan Pepper Essence

Original designation: Poivre ESS Sichuan rouge

Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.

Sichuan pepper flashes like citrus charged with static—lemon, grapefruit and dry floral spice in a tingling top note. It gives vintage-heavy materials a sudden line of light.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build electric citrus tops, enrich pepper florals and introduce modern woods. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

  • electric citrus tops
  • pepper florals
  • modern woods
  • tea and spice accords

Extraction & expression

An essence belongs to the more volatile, mobile side of the palette. Depending on the botanical, it may come from distillation or—in explicitly expressed citrus grades—from mechanical pressing, bringing immediacy and lift.
