Frost Berry Burst
Ice Blueberry contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, linalool (bp 198C) — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Mango Strawberry relies on myrcene (bp 167C), ocimene, terpinolene for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
