Description

Eucalyptol, also known as 1,8-Cineole, is a fresh and highly recognizable aroma chemical with a clean, cooling and camphoraceous character. Its odor profile is strongly associated with eucalyptus, accompanied by minty, herbal and slightly woody nuances. It provides a crisp sense of freshness and can give fragrance compositions a clear, invigorating opening.

In perfumery, Eucalyptol is used to create eucalyptus, mint, herbal, medicinal and fresh accords. It can bring brightness to aromatic compositions and works particularly well with citrus, mint, lavender and other herbal materials. It is also useful for adding freshness to woody and camphoraceous structures. Because of its distinctive character, it is generally used as a supporting material or accent rather than as the sole character of a fragrance.
