Japanese Peppermint Essential Oil
Product Description
areme’s Japanese peppermint essential oil is steam-distilled from the rare Phantom Mint variety, also known as Wahakka, cultivated in limited harvests in Hokkaido, Japan. Developed from a cross between Japanese mint and European black peppermint, this distinctive variety thrives in Hokkaido’s cool northern climate and is naturally rich in menthol.
Despite its high menthol content, its aroma is remarkably soft and refined. The unmistakable freshness of mint is clear and crystalline, yet without the sharp, piercing edge often associated with conventional peppermint. Beneath its crisp opening lies a gentle, rounded sweetness reminiscent of mint honey candy. Familiar yet distinctly different, it reveals a softer, more sophisticated expression of mint.
Fresh, clear and gently invigorating, Japanese peppermint essential oil is especially suited to moments when you want to refresh the senses, create a clean and uplifting atmosphere, or simply enjoy the cooling clarity of mint in a softer, more comforting form.
