Aroma Profile: This essential oil has a wonderful sweet aroma to it like peppermint candy! It is a slightly more sweet smelling one than the US peppermint I have been carrying. It also does not come across as herbaceous smelling as some can be. It has a nice amount of menthol to it that allows for it to be stimulating but not overly so. I do think I prefer this one over my US peppermint!
