CURLY MINT

Curly mint refers to crinkled-leaf forms of spearmint, listed by the Royal Horticultural Society under Mentha spicata ‘Crispa’. Its perfume reference is sweet, green garden mint rather than an entirely different mint species defined by the shape of its leaves. Spearmint’s softer sweetness offers a useful contrast to the more mentholated impression of peppermint.

For the broader spearmint material, Eden Botanicals documents steam-distilled leaves and a sweet minty aroma associated with carvone. Those facts describe spearmint oil, not proof that a fragrance uses oil from a particular curly-leaved cultivar. In a composition, the note can suggest crushed herbs and leafy freshness alongside floral or aromatic elements. “Curly” identifies the plant reference; it does not establish a unique extraction method, a fixed formula or a guaranteed cooling effect on skin.
