Mentha Citrata Oil : -is a pale yellow or pale olive to almost water white liquid of a sweet herbaceous, somewhat fruity fresh odor.It resembles bergamot, but is distinctly more harsh in its terpene topnotes, less rich in body and without the oily sweet, candy like backnote of good bergamot oils. On the other hand, mentha citrata oil presents a certain bergamot note without the citrus notes. This makes the oil more interesting in the lavender fougere field. Its dryout has some resemblance to clary sage, but lacks the richness of that oil.
