Enfleurage Absolute Oil - Pink Peppercorn
Molli, native to the Peruvian Andes, gets its name from the Quechua word for tree. It is also known as Schinus molle and grows throughout the Americas, including Southern California where it is sometimes seen lining the streets. The tree produces peppercorns that are used for culinary purposes, although they are unrelated to the true pepper plant. The essential oil of Schinus molle is steam distilled from its fruits or berries in Peru. It has a warm and spicy aroma that is brighter than black pepper. The oil is described as fresh, woody-peppery, and warm-spicy, with a sharp or dry, smoky-woody undertone. The odor improves with aging, and the flavor is warm and biting but less rich than black pepper. It shares some similarities with angelica seed oil, juniper berry oil, and elemi oil. In perfumery, Schinus molle fruit oil is used for its woody-spicy, warm, and powdery notes. It blends well with other ingredients such as oakmoss, clove, and nutmeg.

Enfleurage is dedicated to providing high-quality essential oils for various purposes such as aromatherapy, culinary use, vibrational healing, and perfumery. They strive to source their oils directly from farms and stills, with a preference for organic products whenever possible. They prioritize quality and terroir, acknowledging that certain plants thrive in specific locations due to various factors like climate, soil composition, and elevation. The concept of terroir is essential as it brings out the strongest and most beneficial components of each plant. Enfleurage predominantly works with small family farms and co-ops, many of which may not have organic certification despite avoiding pesticides and inorganic fertilizers. Some of their more expensive oils undergo GC testing for purity, and their oils are graded based on factors like smell, taste, color, and vibrancy. Enfleurage's team travels extensively to witness growing practices and distillations firsthand. They do not add anything to their essential oils and hydrosols, ensuring a pure and unadulterated aromatic experience that captures the essence of the plant.
