Aroma Profiles:
-
Mentha Piperita: This is the most common peppermint essential oil. It has a strong, refreshing, minty scent with a slightly sweet and herbaceous undertone.

Mentha Arvensis: This oil, known as Japanese Peppermint and Cornmint, also has a strong minty scent, but it's considered sharper and more penetrating than Mentha Piperita. Some find it less pleasant due to a lack of sweetness.
