Allspice

Allspice essential oil, obtained from Pimenta officinalis, lives up to its name: it recalls clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and softpepper at once. Its fragrance is warm, spicy, gourmand and very present.

It immediately brings a feeling of warmth to a composition. Its aromatic strength makes it a character ingredient, especially suited to winter, oriental, woody and ambered accords.

It can be blended with sweet orange, ginger, cinnamon leaf, cedarwood, patchouli, vanilla, benzoin or frankincense. A mere trace is often enough to enrich a blend without overwhelming it.
