Cubeb

Cubeb is a fragrant spice derived from the dried berries of the Piper cubeba vine, native to Indonesia. It has a warm, peppery aroma with hints of eucalyptus and camphor. Cubeb is prized for its use in traditional medicines and as a flavoring agent in some cuisines.

Cubeb has an invigorating, almost stimulating effect, evoking a sense of focus and clarity. Fragrances featuring this note can be well-suited for casual, everyday wear, as the spicy aroma is versatile and not overpowering. It may also be enjoyed in more formal settings, adding a touch of sophistication.

In perfumery, cubeb is often used as a middle or base note, adding a warm, spicy, and slightly medicinal character to fragrances. It is commonly found in men's colognes and woody, oriental-style scents, where it can provide depth and complexity.
