Sichuan Pepper

10 perfumes

Sichuan pepper, derived from the husks of the Zanthoxylum plant, offers a unique sensory paradox. It delivers a vibrant, citrusy sparkle followed by a distinct, numbing tingling sensation. Typically utilized as a top note, it provides an electrifying, modern opening that cuts through heavy compositions. In the Gulf, its zesty, metallic edge acts as a sophisticated bridge, harmonizing beautifully with the deep, resinous warmth of aged Oud or the spicy, leathery facets of saffron, adding a contemporary, avant-garde brightness.
