World's first flavored menthol crystals made in a "top secret lab"
When the entrepreneurial duo drives into the fields of Ostrobothnia in an old camper van, wearing yellow protective suits and blue protective gloves, everyone knows something special is happening.
Our campaign video shows how the process of creating and testing new products can be tough, but also interesting. After testing over the summer, the new flavored menthol crystal products selected were: Lavender, Eucalyptus and Lemon. And yes, potato is not new scent even you can see it in the video.
They are, of course, manufactured in a top-secret laboratory… which happens to be located in the fields of Seinäjoki .
This is a humorous yet ambitious tribute to the sauna and Finnish creativity – and at the same time the beginning of a new era of sauna scents.
Why choose Sauna Menthol®?
The highest quality raw materials
Sauna Menthol® products use only the purest menthol and carefully selected essential oils. The quality is guaranteed by the fact that each raw material is carefully tested to ensure that the end result is consistent, safe and, above all, enjoyable. When you put the crystals in the sauna water, you can be sure that they will evaporate naturally and produce a clean, fresh scent without any additional additives.
Unique combinations
Our products stand out because we combine the freshness of menthol with classic sauna scents such as lavender, eucalyptus and lemon. These aromatized menthol crystals are not found anywhere else – they are the first of their kind in the world. This makes sauna bathing a new kind of experience: familiar scents, but in a completely new, refreshing form.
Finnish design and packaging
Sauna Menthol® is a Finnish brand with deep roots in Finnish sauna tradition. The products are designed and packaged in Finland, and their appearance and usability are thought out from the sauna user's perspective. We want to combine modern design, practicality and a strong Finnish identity with products that stand out both in the home sauna and as gifts.
Easy to use
Adding a sauna scent shouldn't be complicated. That's why Sauna Menthol® crystals are designed to be simple and effortless to use. Just take a few crystals or a small amount of aromatized mixture, add to the sauna water and pour into the heater. The scent immediately spreads throughout the sauna and makes your sauna experience unique – without any additional adjustments or waiting.

FAQ – The new era of sauna scents
What does “a new era of sauna scents” mean?
What does “a new era of sauna scents” mean?
The world of sauna fragrances has remained almost unchanged for decades: liquid scents, the same aromas, and the same method of use. Sauna Menthol® was created to completely challenge this. We didn't just want to create a new scent – but a completely new way to experience the sauna.
That's why we developed the world's first flavored menthol crystals , which combine: the cooling effect of real menthol, natural essential oils and crystalline, pure and alcohol-free form. It's no longer just about the sauna scent, but an experience that can be felt in your breath, on your skin, and in your state of mind.
