Perfumers' Tip

Alpha Terpineol is an excellent material for building a fresh, clean floral heart. Combine it with Linalool and Linalyl Acetate for a soft floral accord, or use it with pine and citrus materials for a fresh aromatic direction. It can also help smooth the transition between bright terpenic top notes and deeper woody materials.
