Fresh Citrus Fusion
Lemon Mix contains limonene (bp 176C), citral (bp 229C), geraniol — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Green Mix relies on menthol (bp 212C), menthone, pulegone for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
