About Mint
Mint essential oils are steam-distilled from the leaves of various Mentha species, primarily grown in the United States, India, and China. Peppermint contains menthol (40-50% of the oil), which provides the cooling sensation; spearmint contains carvone instead, giving a sweeter chewing-gum character. In perfumery, mint is used sparingly · it can dominate a composition · but small doses add freshness and modernity. Yves Saint Laurent Mr. Burberry Indigo, Hugo Boss XY, and modern "fresh masculine" fragrances all rely on mint in measured doses.
