Description

Dimethyl Phenyl Ethyl Carbinol, commonly known as DMPEC or Carbinol Muguet, is a versatile floral aroma chemical with a soft, fresh and elegant character. It is particularly appreciated for its muguet-like floral profile, accompanied by subtle green, rosy and slightly fruity nuances.

In perfumery, DMPEC is widely used to build muguet, floral, fresh and green-floral accords. It provides a smooth floral body and can help create a clean, natural-feeling heart in a fragrance composition.

Its gentle character makes it useful across a wide range of fragrance styles. It can support rose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and other floral materials while helping to create a soft and harmonious transition between the top and base notes.

Perfumers' Tip

DMPEC is excellent for creating a soft, fresh and elegant muguet heart. Combine it with Hydroxycitronellal and Hedione for a fuller lily-of-the-valley effect, or use it with Rose and Jasmine materials for a rounded floral bouquet. Linalool and Linalyl Acetate can add freshness, while white musks can provide a clean and lasting finish.
