Arctic Citrus Wave
Watermelon Cinnamon Bubble contains cis-3-hexenal, nonanal, geraniol — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Ice Blue Peach Tangerine relies on menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, gamma-decalactone for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.
