Luebke, William tgsc, (1993)“Sweet spearmint herbal minty”
Indukern F&F“Mentholated, spearmint, sweet, spicy”
Pell Wall Perfumes“Sweet, spearmint, herbal, floral in dilution sweet, spearmint, herbal and immediately pleasant. present in many essential oils and headspace results. arctander describes it as: “warm-herbaceous, breadlike, penetrating and diffusive odor, somewhat spicy, in extreme dilution also floral, overall reminiscent of spearmint oil (rectified) … used in perfume compositions, particularly in floral bases, where it introduces enormous power and often lends pleasing natural notes to the fragrance. however, it demands great skill and experience in application. it seems to constitute a very good and compatible companion to rose oxide and the jasmone chemicals.””
