Description

Indulge your senses in the rich, perfumed elegance of Eau de Cologne Mint, a variety renowned for its powerful and multi-layered aroma. Named after the classic 18th-century fragrance from Cologne, this mint delivers a refreshing yet sophisticated scent that blends menthol, carvone, and linalool in near-equal potency—creating a profile that is both invigorating and sweetly floral.

Widely regarded as the progenitor of the entire citrata group, Eau de Cologne Mint has played a foundational role in the development of many citrus-scented mint cultivars, including Orange Mint, Tangerine Mint, and Lemon Mint. Its complex essential oil content and distinctive aromatic punch have made it a favourite not only for culinary and herbal uses but also in the world of natural perfumery and apothecary traditions.

Ideal for teas, desserts, infused waters, and potpourri, Eau de Cologne Mint is a versatile addition to any garden or kitchen. Its glossy green leaves and vigorous growth habit make it a striking container plant or a fragrant border feature, releasing bursts of scent at the slightest touch.

Whether you’re cultivating it for its botanical heritage, aromatic intensity, or its pivotal role in the evolution of mint varieties, Eau de Cologne Mint offers a timeless charm that bridges horticulture, history, and the art of fragrance.
