United StatesNever smelled a peppermint like this!
This peppermint has an awesome synergy of minty and herby. Most peppermint is like…wow, in your face with menthol…this one isnt for me. Its a nice smooth peppermint. I compared this GCMS report to other peppermints from other companies and the only thing I can think of is that it is the difference in menthol and menthone in this oil, vs. the others. I really like this peppermint a lot…so much so, thats why I had to come here and write a review. The only other peppermint aroma that comes close to this one is…I ordered some dried peppermint leaves from an herb company once, and it was called “egyptian peppermint”…I love that peppermint too! Im sure I’ll be back for more of this peppermint!
