Faddas Reaper Perfume Orange

Faddas Reaper Perfume Orange is a modern Italian Capsicum chinense hybrid created by Giancarlo Fadda. Orange-selection listings identify it as an orange colour variation from Fadda’s manual cross between Carolina Reaper Caramel and Trinidad Perfume, placing it firmly within his recent hobby-bred pepper lines rather than among older heirloom or landrace peppers. Public references show the orange form in circulation by September 2024 at the F4 stage, and by 2026 it was being sold in F5 seed listings.

The plant is described as highly prolific and heavy setting, with broader Faddas Reaper Perfume line listings placing plants at about 100.0 cm tall and 60.0 cm wide. Grower-facing descriptions repeatedly emphasise yield, describing plants that load up continuously with fruit rather than producing sparsely.

The pods are small, smooth, shiny, and chinense-shaped, usually with a pointed tail or short stinger. Orange-selection descriptions specifically describe loads of smooth small orange peppers with stingers, while photographs tied to current listings show rounded, slightly lobed pods with neat pointed tails and a clean glossy finish. The ripening pattern reported for the orange selection is green to bright orange.

Its identity is strongly tied to flavour and mildness rather than brute heat. Orange-selection descriptions call it low heat, super fruity, thick-walled, and snackable, with almost no spice in some listings. A major factual conflict appears in the wider Faddas Reaper Perfume line over pungency, because some non-orange listings describe the broader line as habanero-range hot, while orange-selection listings place it at almost no spice or roughly 2000 to 5000 SHU. For the orange form itself, the public descriptions consistently point to a mild, flavour-first pepper with strong aroma and heavy production.
