Freskomenthe adds an element of freshness to a wide range of accords,including lavender, citrus, aromatic, geranium and green notes. It contributes a unique cooling effect in powder detergent, without becoming overly minty. Freskomenthe can be used to modify a typical mint character and suggest peppermint in a blend containing none of the natural mint. Very stable in all applications, including bleach.
