Sichuan Pepper.
Bright, tingling pepper with a citrus edge and a numbing buzz.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Sichuan pepper is not really a pepper and it does not behave like one. It is bright and citrus-peel sharp with a distinctive tingling, almost numbing quality, and a woody dryness underneath. It is one of the most recognisable openings in modern perfumery.
It gives a fragrance immediate energy and a slightly unusual edge that stops a fresh blend reading as generic. It suits woods and citrus and it is assertive, so it does not need much beside it.

Sharper and stranger than pink pepper. Gives an opening a real jolt.
