Mint
Mint is a refreshing and invigorating fragrance note known for its cool, crisp, and slightly sweet aroma. Its scent profile is bright, herbaceous, and energizing, evoking a sense of cleanliness and vitality. Mint is often used as a top note in perfumes, imparting a burst of freshness that awakens the senses. It pairs well with citrus, florals, and green notes, adding a modern, lively touch to both unisex and masculine fragrances, as well as lighter, refreshing compositions.
History & Production: Mint has a long history of use dating back to ancient times, where it was valued for its aromatic and medicinal properties. The most common types used in perfumery include peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). The essential oil is typically extracted through steam distillation of the fresh leaves and flowering tops, preserving its crisp and revitalizing scent. Mint continues to be a beloved note in perfumery for its ability to add an energizing and clean quality, enhancing the vibrancy and freshness of fragrance compositions.
