Peppermint (Mentha spicata) has one of the most recognizable and refreshing aromas in the plant kingdom. Its fragrance is intense, fresh and penetrating, combining menthol notes with herbal tones and a slight sweet touch. The mint aroma produces an immediate sensation of freshness and cleanliness, with a stimulating and invigorating effect.
This perennial plant of the Lamiaceae family has been used since ancient times. The Romans used it to flavor sauces and wines, while in traditional medicine it has been valued for its digestive and refreshing properties.
The main component of its aroma is menthol, which produces that characteristic sensation of freshness that affects both the sense of smell and the nerve endings, creating a complete sensory experience.
