THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT

Inside the oil

46 constituents

An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.

About this composition

This record is anchored to the directly read Perfumer & Flavorist cornmint composition study, using the Indian-oil averages and ranges reported for genuine cornmint oils as the closest public composition basis for a redistilled Mentha arvensis oil. The profile remains strongly menthol dominant with menthone and isomenthone as the other principal markers, alongside smaller menthyl acetate and menthol isomers.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

Odor intensity 80 normalizes public qualitative descriptions that describe cornmint as potent and strongly minty rather than publishing a native 0-100 measurement.
No directly readable public source located in this pass gave a measured volatility-rate or tenacity window specific to redistilled cornmint oil.
