Oil of Piper Crassipes is a greenish-yellow, somewhat viscous liquid of faint, but fresh-medicinal odor, slightly reminiscent of niaouli oil and with a dryout of a clove-terpene type odor or cedrela odorata type odor.
The fruits (berries) of Piper Crassipes emit a sweet, cineole-type odor, in contrast to the spicy-warm, aromatic-woody odor of true cubebs.
Oil of Piper Crassipes has no application in perfumery and is not produced regularly on a commercial scale.
