Short profile
This material opens with an energetic, crisp, and clean mint character that carries a perceptible cooling sensation without the sharp physiological freeze of pure menthol. It develops through a green, leafy herbal heart reminiscent of crushed mint foliage rather than confectionary candy. As it progresses, it displays a gentle woody-earthy facet that anchors the composition and imparts a remarkably authentic, organic feel. Operating primarily as an expressive top note, it projects cleanly and shapes the initial diffusion before fading within minutes to roughly one hour.
Effect in a formula
It provides crisp lift and a bright, clarifying initial opening that gives realistic dimension to aromatic accords. In fougères and masculine compositions, it adds an invigorating green freshness that seamlessly transitions into herbal heart materials. It prevents mint complexes from seeming overly synthetic or flat, contributing essential natural depth.
Use and dosage
Recommended typically at 0.1% to 1% within the fragrance concentrate, extending up to 3% in finished formulations. Starting with just a few tenths of a percent is advised to prevent the blend from taking on a heavy toothpaste impression.
