Dihydro Myrcenol, with CAS number 18479-58-8, is a synthetic aroma chemical known for its fresh, green, and slightly floral scent profile. It is often used in perfumery to impart a clean and uplifting character, making it suitable for a variety of fragrance types, including floral, citrus, and aromatic compositions. Dihydro Myrcenol typically functions as a middle note in formulations, contributing to the overall balance and complexity of a scent. Its versatility allows it to blend well with other ingredients, enhancing the overall olfactory experience. In terms of safety and regulatory considerations, Dihydro Myrcenol is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and fragrances, but as with many synthetic compounds, it is important for formulators to be aware of any potential sensitivities or restrictions that may apply. While specific IFRA restrictions may not be widely documented, it is advisable to consult the latest guidelines and safety data sheets to ensure compliance with current regulations. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
