Overview of Menthone

Menthone is an aromatic organic compound found naturally in mint plants, especially Peppermint and Spearmint. It is known for its fresh, minty, herbal, and slightly cooling scent, making it widely used in flavourings, fragrances, oral care, and personal care formulations.

Menthone plays an important role in the mint family of aroma chemicals and is closely related to Menthol, L-Menthone, L-menthol flakes FCC, and Menthyl Acetate. It is commonly used in toothpaste, perfumes, chewing gum, balms, shaving creams, body sprays, and cooling gels, where a refreshing mint note is needed.

It blends well with cooling and herbal ingredients such as Eucalyptus Oil, Linalool FG, Camphor Oil, Rosemary Oil, Basil Oil, and Peppermint Oil, making it popular in many fragrance and flavour systems.
