Nordic Berry Dream
Ice Tangerine Blueberry contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, limonene (bp 176C) — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Lemon Marmalade relies on limonene (bp 176C), citral (bp 229C), geraniol for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
