Wintergreen
Cool and minty with a medicinal edge, close to balm in character.
What Wintergreen actually smells like
Wintergreen is steam-distilled from the leaf of Gaultheria procumbens, a low-growing shrub whose oil is instantly recognisable — cool, minty and medicinal, closer to a balm or rub than to a typical mint. It's one of the most immediately identifiable notes in the whole collection.
That clinical freshness suits bathrooms particularly well, where a sharp, cooling scent reads as genuinely clean rather than just pleasant.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
