Pimenta Leaf Oil is a brownish yellow or pale brownish colored liquid.
Pimenta Leaf Oil has a dry-woody, warm-spicy, aromatic odor, reminiscent of clove leaf oil and crude eugenol.
The flavor is warm and aromatic, slightly burning, but also dry and woody, almost sharp or acrid.
The oil is used mainly in perfumery and for the isolation of Eugenol, its main constituent.
The leaves and twiglets of the allspice tree are steam distilled in local stills in the growing regions.
