Arctic Citrus Wave
Ice Orange Cola contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, limonene (bp 176C) — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Coconut relies on gamma-nonalactone, delta-octalactone, massoia lactone for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
