| Herbal | Rosemary, basil, sage, thyme | Builds aromatic herbal character |
| Woody | Cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver | Anchors the short-lived top note |

Blending Tips
- Use peppermint at 5-20% of a blend's top-note share; it is potent and can dominate quickly
- Start at 0.5-1% of the total blend and adjust by nose — the cooling note amplifies in the final product
- Its freshness evaporates fastest, so build a base of woody/amber notes when you need longevity
- In oral-care and confectionery flavours, peppermint is usually the star rather than a supporting accent
