Frozen Berry Rush
Raspberry contains raspberry ketone, ionone (bp 230C), linalool — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Ice Orange Mango relies on menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, limonene (bp 176C) for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
