Fresh, penetrating, and richly complex, with the characteristic simultaneous warming and cooling effect that defines quality peppermint oil. The opening is bright and crisp, with a high menthol content that delivers the clean, sharp freshness expected of the variety. The complexity comes through in the mid-profile: rounder, more herbal, and more interesting than commodity peppermint, with a depth and refinement that reflects both the cultivar and the growing conditions.

Peppermint Essential Oil works as a top note, cooling modifier, and functional ingredient across a very wide range of applications.
