Information
Sichuan pepper is a fragrance note that is known for its spicy, citrusy, and slightly numbing aroma.
It has a unique flavor that is often described as being warm and slightly floral, with hints of lemon and wood. In perfumery, Sichuan pepper is often used to add an exotic and spicy dimension to fragrances, and it is commonly paired with other citrus notes, such as bergamot and grapefruit, as well as with woody and floral notes to create complex and sophisticated scents. Its numbing effect on the skin is also sometimes used to enhance the sensory experience of the fragrance.
