Spearmint Essential Oil Aromatherapy 10ml

Fresh, green and softly sweet, this spearmint essential oil brings the clean lift of crushed mint leaves into a diffuser, oil burner or blended body oil. Steam distilled from the flowering tops of Mentha spicata, it has a bright herbal character that feels crisp without becoming sharp.

Fresh mint, softened by sweetness

• The first impression is clean and leafy, like mint rubbed between the fingers.
• A gentle sweetness follows the green opening, giving it a rounder feel than peppermint.
• It suits moments when a room wants to feel clearer, fresher and more awake.
• In blends, spearmint essential oil pairs naturally with citrus, herbaceous and soft woody scents.
• The aroma is easy to place in everyday rituals, from a morning diffuser to a quiet evening burner.

Mentha spicata, steam distilled

This oil comes from the flowering tops of spearmint, botanically known as Mentha spicata. It is steam distilled in China, a method that draws the aromatic compounds from the plant through vapour rather than pressing or solvent extraction.

This variety is noted for a high carvone content. Carvone is one of the natural aromatic compounds that gives spearmint its recognisable scent, shaping that clean, sweet mint profile.

A herb with a long everyday place

Spearmint has been used across many food, fragrance and household traditions for its fresh, familiar scent. In aromatherapy practice, mint oils are often chosen for spaces where people want a sense of clarity, brightness and freshness, especially when heavier scents feel too warm or dense. Here, the character is not medicinal or harsh. It is green, simple and immediately recognisable, the kind of scent that makes a room feel newly aired.

How to enjoy it safely

Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner, following the instructions for your device. For skin use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. Keep away from children and pets, and seek professional guidance before use during pregnancy or with young children. Store closed, upright and away from heat.
