Black pepper essential oil
Piper nigrum
Tiêu đen · Piperaceae
Dry, sharp, woody and dusty. It is hot in the nose, not on the tongue.
The oil keeps the smell of the peppercorn but not its heat, because piperine hardly evaporates and stays behind in the seed. So a bottle of pepper oil smells unmistakable but does not taste hot.
That is also a quick check: if a bottle labelled black pepper oil tastes hot on the tongue, something else is in it. The test needs no equipment at all.
