These are facts about the substance, not about any perfume with this note.

Why that matters

A perfume that names Peppermint can use a different extract, a reformulated version, or a synthetic reconstruction. It can also hold less than the amount that requires a declaration. We cannot tell which applies. These rows cover only the substances we hold a link for.

How the layers join

Origin

Peppermint is derived from the leaves of Mentha x piperita, a hybrid mint species cultivated in temperate regions. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried leaves and flowering tops.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use peppermint primarily as a top note to impart freshness and vibrancy, especially in fougère, aromatic, and citrus compositions. It blends well with other herbs, citrus oils, and cool spices, and can accentuate green or aquatic accords.
