A fresh, lavender-like top note with a soft floral-citrus lift and a clean terpenic edge. Reminiscent of natural linalool but rounder and more diffusive, with a bright, slightly limey freshness that quickly dries down to a soft floral impression.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless viscous liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Fresh, floral-Lime-like odor of moderate to poor tenacity. The Lime note is inevitably accompanied by woody notes, but should not show 'piney' notes.

Uses in perfumery

Myrcenol is used in perfume compositions for 'lift' and freshness in floral or citrusy and 'light' compositions, including soap perfumes.

Production

Produced by chlorination of Myrcene, followed by hydrolysis.
