Colorless oily liquid.
Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet-oily, delicately floral odor, less green-woody than Linalool, more floral and powdery, sweet-dry odor.
Pleasant citrusy-floral taste in concentrations below 10 ppm. Concentrations higher than 20 ppm tend to appear 'perfumey'.
As a major component in delicate floral fragrance types, Muguet, Lily, Lilac, Mimosa, variations of Rose and Jasmin, etc. it has repeatedly confirmed its pleasant effects and good stability. It is also used in Lavender compositions, Chypres, Fougéres, etc. as a modifier/blender, and its mild odor makes it almost universally applicable.
Traces of the alcohol are used in flavor compositions for imitation Citrus, fruit-complexes, berry flavors and certain Liqueur flavors. The concentration in the finished product will usually be as low as 1 to 6 ppm.
Produced by hydrogenation of Linalool. There are many methods in use and smaller amounts of the title material are also obtained as a by-product in making Dihydro Linalool.
