Description

Spearmint Oil is a fresh and aromatic essential oil known for its characteristic sweet, soft and green mint profile. Compared with the more intense and cooling character of peppermint, spearmint generally provides a smoother and sweeter mint impression.

Its aroma combines fresh mint, sweet, green, herbal and subtly fruity facets, making it useful for creating clean and refreshing fragrance compositions. Its softer character allows it to blend naturally with citrus, floral, aromatic and woody materials.

Spearmint Oil works particularly well in fresh, minty, herbal, green, citrus and aromatic fragrances. It can also add a refreshing botanical lift to modern unisex compositions.

Perfumers' Tip

Spearmint Oil is particularly useful when you want a softer, sweeter mint effect. Combine it with Bergamot, Lemon and Lime for a bright mint-citrus accord, or pair it with Lavender and Clary Sage for a smooth herbal composition.

For a refreshing modern fragrance, try Spearmint Oil + Bergamot + Eucalyptus + Cedarwood + White Musks. Rose and Geranium can create an interesting floral-mint direction, while Ginger and Cardamom can add a subtle spicy contrast.

Its softer character makes it useful for rounding out sharper mint materials such as Peppermint Oil without overwhelming the composition.
