Menthol labels confuse people. Two sticks can both say menthol and feel nothing alike. We ranked ours so you can pick in a minute.
How are TEREA menthol flavors ranked from soft to strong?
We rank them by how strong the cooling feels, using brand launch notes and our own product descriptions, not lab numbers. From soft to strong, the order is Mint, Bright Menthol, Menthol, Fusion Menthol, then the Black sticks. Tropical Menthol sits with the flavored group.
Official Japan material splits the TEREA line into Menthol and Flavored Menthol groups. Plain Menthol and Mint keep things simple. Bright, Fusion and Tropical carry added flavor notes, so they sit on the flavored side.
Think of it like a volume dial. Mint sits at one, and the Black sticks sit near the top. The rest fill the middle.
Use the table as a starting point. Match the group to the feel you want, then read the taste note.
| Flavor | Group | Taste note |
|---|---|---|
| Mint | Soft | Softest cooling in our menthol range |
| Bright Menthol | Light | Green apple and citrus over light cooling |
| Menthol | Classic | Classic peppermint cooling |
| Fusion Menthol | Flavored | Floral and herbal notes over cooling menthol |
| Tropical Menthol | Flavored | Tropical fruit aroma over menthol |
| Black Menthol and Black Purple Menthol | Strong | Black-label sticks with strong cooling |
We checked Philip Morris Japan launch notes and press coverage for the Black sticks. For Mint, Bright, Menthol and Fusion, we used our own product descriptions. If a detail wasn’t stated anywhere, we left it out, which is why you won’t see puff counts or nicotine numbers here.
What is the difference between Mint and Menthol TEREA?
Mint is the softer stick, with the gentlest cooling in our menthol range, and Menthol delivers classic peppermint cooling. Both are Japan version sticks that fit IQOS ILUMA devices. Pick Mint for a light finish and Menthol for a clearer chill.
Mint is the gentlest option here, so it suits anyone who wants only a light cool note. Menthol is the middle ground. Our listing calls it classic peppermint cooling for everyday ILUMA use.
Both sticks come from the Japan version. That keeps the comparison fair: same country version, different cooling. You can read more on our TEREA Menthol Japan product page.
If you’re torn, try both. Buy one pack of each and compare them side by side. Your own taste settles the question faster than any ranking.
Which TEREA menthol flavor is the strongest?
The Black sticks are the strongest menthol group we stock. Philip Morris Japan describes its Black menthol releases, including Black Tropical Menthol, as strong menthol. On our shelf, that means Black Menthol and Black Purple Menthol, so choose them when you want a hard chill.
Black Tropical Menthol pairs strong cold menthol with a tropical fruit aroma, according to Philip Morris Japan. The Black line exists for smokers who want more cooling, not less.
Start with our TEREA Black Menthol if you want the full effect. Strong cooling can feel sharp on a first try. Buy one pack before you commit to a carton.
Strong doesn’t mean better. It means more cooling. If your last stick tasted flat, a Black stick may suit you, and if it felt icy, go down a step.
What do Tropical, Fusion and Bright Menthol taste like?
Tropical Menthol adds a tropical fruit aroma, Fusion Menthol adds floral and herbal notes, and Bright Menthol adds crisp green apple and citrus over light cooling. All three keep menthol as the base, so each one still finishes cool. We list all three in the Japan version range.
Tropical Menthol suits fans of fruit-led menthol. The aroma sits on top, with cooling underneath.
Fusion Menthol leans floral and herbal. It reads more like a garden than a candy shop. See it on our TEREA Fusion Menthol page.
Bright Menthol is the lightest of the three. Green apple and citrus sit over soft cooling. It’s on our TEREA Bright Menthol page.
Choose Tropical for fruit, Fusion for flowers and herbs, and Bright for apple and citrus. Each one gives you a different reason to leave plain Menthol behind.
Do TEREA menthol sticks work with IQOS ILUMA?
Yes. TEREA sticks are made for IQOS ILUMA and IQOS ILUMA i devices, and they don’t work in IQOS 3 holders. Every menthol stick on our shelf is a TEREA, so the same rule applies to all 12 of them.
TEREA sticks heat tobacco instead of burning it. That’s how ILUMA devices use them. We sell the ILUMA Prime, ILUMA One, ILUMA Standard and ILUMA i series devices.
Ordering takes three steps. Pick a stick on our menthol page, add it to your cart and check out. Our delivery page lists the terms.
Our menthol sticks work in the same devices as every other TEREA flavor on the site. So you can mix flavors without changing your device.

TEREA menthol FAQ
Which TEREA menthol is best for a light cooling feel?
Mint is the best pick for a light cooling feel, since we list it as the softest cooling option in our menthol range. Bright Menthol comes next, with green apple and citrus over light cooling. Both are Japan version sticks for IQOS ILUMA.
Which TEREA menthol should a first-time buyer try?
Start with Mint or Menthol. They keep the flavor simple, with cooling and no added fruit or floral notes. Step up to Fusion or a Black stick when you want more, but buy a single pack first and test it at home.
Are TEREA menthol sticks the same in every country?
No. Country versions can differ in name and flavor. Most of our menthol sticks are Japan versions, and we also list Turquoise Menthol from Italy, so check the product title for the country before you order and match it to your taste.
Where does Green Zing fit in the TEREA menthol range?
Green Zing isn’t part of the Japan ladder above. It’s a Kazakhstan version stick, so we list it with that range. Check its product page for the details we publish before you order, and compare it with your usual stick.
How fast can you get TEREA menthol sticks in Dubai?
We offer same-day delivery in Dubai. Orders over 400 AED ship free, and cash on delivery works across the UAE. Choose your sticks on our menthol page and check out in a few minutes, and read the delivery terms on our delivery page.
Which TEREA menthol should you pick?
Pick by cooling level first and flavor note second. Choose Mint or Bright for soft cooling, Menthol or Fusion for a clearer chill, and a Black stick for the strongest hit. Tropical suits anyone who wants fruit over menthol, so buy one pack first.
