Arctic Berry Wave
Ice Lychee Blueberry contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, geraniol — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Orange relies on limonene (bp 176C), linalool (bp 198C), decanal for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
