The note of Pepper Leaf presents a distinctly green, verdant aroma, sharp and slightly aqueous at first, evolving into a more complex, subtly spicy and peppery herbaceousness. It possesses an almost metallic crispness, reminiscent of freshly crushed foliage, with a cool, invigorating undertone. Unlike the dry heat of black peppercorn, this is a 'green spice' – a vegetal piquancy that tingles the nose without overwhelming it. Its texture is often described as dewy or slightly damp, with a moderate intensity that can range from a vibrant, almost effervescent top-note burst to a more grounded, aromatic heart. It typically has good projection in its initial stages, fading gracefully into a more muted, naturalistic green after some hours, contributing excellent longevity as a grounding green facet.
