Most room spray and simmer pot formulas run black pepper as a supporting note alongside citrus peel, cinnamon, or clove, dosed low enough that the spray or simmer pot reads as fresh and warm rather than sharp.

Formula testing for a new room spray or simmer pot line fits in 2 oz or 4 oz; seasonal production runs typically move to 5 lbs or 25 lbs.
