Awaiting samples from a new source. Has there been a database set up for suppliers yet? I have seen a few names of suppliers tossed about, some i feel are quite good, others not so good. It might be helpful to have this type of information available to the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she has anymore, so I'll have to make do with pink pepper EO in the future. I agree -- it is very fruity/berry in the opening, delightfully so! I know the plant, have crushed and eaten the fresh pink pepper corns of both Schinus molle and terebinthifolius (sp?) and it is very, very true to it. The second phase of drydown came very quickly, and I'm struck by the juniper quality of it, very soft and resiny. Do you find it the same? I feel this can work well as a top note, softly gliding into the heart.
