Smells of: cool minty
Role: top note / cooling agent

Menthol opens with a sharp, cooling freshness that is instantly recognizable, reminiscent of mint leaves and a crisp, invigorating breeze. As it develops, the initial intensity softens slightly, revealing a subtle sweetness and a creamy, almost buttery texture that adds a smoothness to the overall scent. In a formula, menthol acts as a brightener, enhancing freshness and providing a cooling effect that can invigorate both floral and citrus compositions. It pairs well with eucalyptus and peppermint for a refreshing lift, or can be used to add a cooling sensation to gourmand notes.
