A softer, less sharp cousin of linalool — muguet-floral with a gentle citrus-bergamot facet and a clean, slightly green freshness. Rounder and more discreet than linalool, without the terpenic bite, giving a smooth floral-fresh character.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol, propylene glycol and oils.
Comparatively powerful, fresh-floral, citrusy (with emphasis on Lime) and diffusive odor. Less woody than Linalool, more powerful and more Lime-like than Tetrahydro linalool.
An excellent perfume material for fresh-floral fragrance types, as a modifier in Lime and Lime-floral complexes, as a blender in modern soap perfume compositions. More versatile than Linalool and Tetrahydrolinalool, but not quite as discrete as the latter.
Produced by catalytic, partial hydrogenation of Linalool.
