Spearmint and peppermint are not the same thing. Peppermint is sharp and high-menthol, the one that registers as cold and medicinal. Spearmint is sweeter, rounder, the one that smells like the gum in your pocket. If peppermint is the bar that wakes you up by force, spearmint is the one that wakes you up with a smile. The essential oil is sourced from Oregon's Willamette Valley, one of the premier spearmint growing regions in the world. In the shower it comes through clean and bright without any of the intensity that makes some mint bars hard to use on sensitive skin. The scent is present and it does not overstay. This is the bar people keep by the kitchen sink as much as the shower. It works both places. "Smells just like your favorite mint gum! Each time I wash my hands I get a little pick me up!" — Harvey N., verified buyer
