What does Koolada-23 Synthetic smell like?
The Good Scents Company describe it at twenty-five percent in dipropylene glycol as "mild cooling mentholic minty" and rate the odour strength low; the taste is "Medicinal, menthol", an initial menthol note that fades into a lingering cooling feel. Advanced Biotech go further and sell WS-23 as the coolant that gives a clean, long-lasting cooling sensation without the accompanying minty flavour or odour. Both readings are true at their own dose: concentrated it is faintly mentholic, at use level it is close to odourless and works as sensation rather than smell. That is exactly what separates it from WS-3 and from menthyl lactate, which bring mint character along with the cold. Reach for it when a fresh or aquatic accord needs to feel cold without any mint arriving in the top, and expect it to add nothing to the pyramid.
