Since it's the Christmas season (don't argue with me about this--just accept it), I have, of course, switched from my usual lotion scent to a more festive peppermint body lotion. This morning, as I rubbed the striking holiday scent into my dry elbows and cracked heels, I said to Troubletron, "mmm! Don't you just love the smell of peppermint!"
And, then, simultaneously, we said:
"Yes, it's such a ________ smell!"
One of us said "warm." One of us said "cool."
Putting aside that it's kind of impossible for a smell to have an inherent temperature, is Peppermint warm or cool? We need you to resolve this.

Maybe this is stupid, but I think that you both are right. In a lotion, I would describe it as cool. (Because it makes you feel all cool and tingly).
But if you are using it in baking, hot coco or a candle...I would describe it as a warm smell.
I have no science to back me on this one....just my thoughts.
Cool!
Totally cool--it's not even close to being warm--but on another note--I once bought peppermint scented lotion from bath and bodyworkds and was so excited to wear it...until Curran asked me if I had put on sports cream and then told me I smelled like a convalescent home...I threw the bottle out after that.
Jillian: cop out answer.
Mexicarol: That is the exact lotion that I'm using...and I think it smells delicious.
I've heard that peppermint can curb your appetite.
What do you mean I didn't answer the question?
cool. Definitely cool.
cool
I'm going with cool.
Cool! Definitely...
There is nothing warm about that flavor.
I have the b & bworks lotion too and had the same experience as mexicarol. Mikey said I smelled like old people. She was nice and threw out the bottle. I still use it daily once November hits.
