Pink Pepper Essential Oil

Sometimes known as the Peruvian mastic, this thorny tree was revered by the Incas as the Tree of Life. The fruits reveal a softer side of Mars, with a warm scent but not at all hot and more complex than black pepper. If you're trying to create a Mars oil and don't want to mess with the oils that can irritate the skin, like black pepper or cinnamon, you could build a nice warm oil around pink pepper essential oil (although don't use tons of it). Many people find pink pepper to be inspirational. It works well in many combinations that might not work with black pepper.

This oil is steam distilled from Schinus molle. A relative sometimes sold as pink pepper comes from the Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia), so if you live in south Florida, you can probably pick your own, but pink peppers grown in Florida tend to cause allergic reactions (the plant is in the cashew family), whereas the pink pepper from elsewhere does not.
