Dihydromyrcenol, with CAS number 18479-58-8, is a synthetic fragrance ingredient known for its fresh, citrusy, and slightly floral character. It is often used in perfumery to impart a clean and uplifting note, making it a popular choice in both fine fragrances and household products. Dihydromyrcenol typically sits in the top to middle notes of a formula, where it can enhance the overall brightness and freshness of the scent profile. This ingredient is valued for its versatility and is commonly found in compositions that aim to evoke a sense of freshness, such as in aquatic or citrus blends. While it is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and fragrances, it is important for formulators to be aware of any potential regulatory restrictions or safety assessments associated with its use, particularly in relation to IFRA guidelines. As with many fragrance ingredients, it is advisable to monitor for any emerging data regarding allergens or sensitivities, although Dihydromyrcenol is not widely recognized as a common allergen. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.

A bright, fresh-citrus aromachemical with a distinctive lime-peel sparkle over a soft, slightly soapy woody-terpenic base. Clean and airy, it reads as the archetypal 'fresh sport fragrance' note — think classic aquatic fougères of the late 80s and 90s.AI · claude-opus-4-7
