Minty Berry Dream
Ice Citrus Mango contains menthol (bp 212C), menthone, pulegone — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Toasted Berry relies on linalool (bp 198C), ethyl butyrate (bp 121C), benzaldehyde for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
