Pimento, or Jamaica Pepper, familiarly called Allspice because it tastes like a combination of cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon and pepper. The principle oil extracted from allspice is eugenol, the same oil extracted from cloves.

The oil has a warm, spicy-sweet aroma. that belies the activating (even potentially irritating) effects on the skin. But when used in tiny amounts (1 drop/teaspoon of carrier oil), it can alleviate stiff and tired muscles and joints. The familiar, clove-like aroma is comforting, lifting the spirit and inspiring confidence. It is used in spicy or masculine scents. It combines well with orange, ginger, patchouli and all of the spice oils including cinnamon, cassia and clove. Learn More
