Introduction
White Pepper essential oil, distilled from the dried, de-husked seeds of the Piper nigrum plant, offers a softer, fresher, and more delicate spice aroma compared to Black Pepper oil. While both come from the same plant, White Pepper oil is lighter, less woody, and carries a cleaner, slightly fermented note that adds subtle complexity in perfumery. Traditionally used in Asian cuisine and herbal medicine, white pepper is associated with digestive stimulation, purification, and refinement . At Herbsmetics, we feature White Pepper oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore its gentle spiciness and learn how it contrasts with the warmer depth of Black Pepper oil.
