Information
Mint is any aromatic herb of the genus Mentha, having opposite leaves and small, whorled flowers, as the spearmint and peppermint. Mint is traditionally used as a medicinal herb, but also often in cosmetics and perfumes.
The scent of mint in perfumes is very attractive because it is very fresh and often adds a cooling, refreshing effect. It can also be described as green, slightly peppery, aromatic, just mint because it is a very unique fragrance.
