It is due to a certain volatile compound, a certain essential oil. I do not know which oil, maybe someone else knows. There are quite some compounds which have such a mint-like smell (e.g. chlorbutanol, eucalyptus-oil, also some camphor-derivatives).

its the same with those "orbit" chewing gums , they contain sorbit and xylol which dont evaporate but they are moving and therefore they need energy which they "steal" from the warmth of your mouth then it feels cold.
