Compound in peppermint oil (7)

I believe the answer is:

menthol

(Other definitions for menthol that I've seen before include "mild analgesic" , "Camphor used as a decongestant" , "Substance from peppermint oil used as flavouring." , "medicinal compound" , "Peppermint camphor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
