Spearmint Essential Oil offers a refreshingly sweet and mellow mint profile that sets it apart from the intensity of peppermint. Steam-distilled from spearmint leaves, this oil carries a clean, gently invigorating aroma that is both vibrant and approachable.
What is the difference between peppermint and spearmint, essentially from the same genus and from different subsets, spearmint leaves are slighter in color and the natural composition is also different.
Its scent is minty yet soft, with a natural sweetness and smooth diffusion that makes it less sharp and far more comforting than peppermint. With a lower menthol content, spearmint delivers a cooling freshness without the overwhelming punch—making it ideal for blends intended for more sensitive users, including children.
Spearmint oil is widely cherished in aromatherapy for its uplifting, clarifying effect on the mind, while being gentle on the senses. In perfumery and formulation, it brings a fresh, green brightness to compositions, working beautifully in wellness blends, herbal accords, and light fougères.
