Description
Menthol needs no introduction, but it’s worth recalling why it’s in the palette:
it’s the fastest way to give a composition crystalline freshness, clarity, and
breath—like opening a window on a hot day, only controlled.
Fresh, minty, slightly camphoraceous, with a clear cooling sensation and strong
diffusion in the top. It tidies the blend and emphasizes “clean” without
weighing the formula down.
Role in formulas
- Citrus–aromatic / fougère: sharpens contours; lifts lavender, rosemary, basil.
- Marine / ozonic: enhances airiness and space.
- Green / herbal: adds crisp “snap” to green accords
- Gourmand: counters sweetness with a fresh edge.
