Peppermint Essential Oil vs Peppermint Fragrance Compound
Peppermint Essential Oil is a concentrated botanical extract obtained from peppermint plant material.
A peppermint fragrance compound is a prepared aromatic blend that may contain natural ingredients, synthetic fragrance ingredients or both. It is formulated to deliver a particular minty fragrance profile.
Although both may have a similar aroma, their composition, stability, fragrance performance and suitability can differ. They should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
