Long pepper oil smells like a warmer, sweeter, and more resinous cousin of black pepper — a dry, biting peppery pungency up top that opens into a woody, slightly balsamic warmth. Compared to Piper nigrum it feels rounder and more incense-like, with a faintly smoky, rooty undertone.AI · claude-opus-4-7

The odor of long pepper is somewhat reminiscent of the odor of various false cubeb oils: warm and faintly aromatic, somewhat woody and cineole-lemon-like.
The fruits of long pepper and the extracts of same have a spicy-pungent flavor.
Most likely, extracts, e.g. an oleoresin-type, would be of some interest in the compounding of spicy flavor blends for table sauces, seasonings, canned food products, pickles, etc.
The essential oil of Piper Longum is prepared by steam distillation of the crushed fruits.
