Mentha citrata
8-16€ / 10ml
Bergamot mint, also called Eau de Cologne Mint, is a fascinating hybrid variety. Its nickname comes from its fragrance reminiscent of Eau de Cologne, thanks to linalyl acetate -- the signature molecule of bergamot. Cultivated from the 19th century in English gardens, it contains virtually no menthol. No cooling effect, but a soft, floral and citrusy profile. Herbalists are rediscovering it for its antispasmodic virtues.
Bergamot mint breaks all the codes. No icy freshness: it offers floral and citrusy notes thanks to linalyl acetate and linalool, which it shares with lavender rather than with its mentholated cousins. It is a gentle antispasmodic, usable in people who cannot tolerate peppermint. Its tonic dimension also makes it an ally for energy, a rare property among mints.
