Description

Linalool is one of the most widely used floral aroma chemicals in perfumery. It has a fresh, soft and versatile character combining floral, citrus, woody, green and slightly sweet facets.

Linalool occurs naturally in many essential oils, including lavender, coriander, rosewood and citrus oils. Its clean and pleasant character makes it an important building block for both natural-style and modern fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Linalool is especially useful in floral, citrus, lavender, fresh, woody and aromatic fragrances. It can provide brightness to the opening while also supporting the floral heart, making it an extremely versatile material for beginners and professional perfumers alike.

Perfumers' Tip

Linalool is an excellent all-purpose floral and fresh building block. Combine it with Linalyl Acetate and Lavender Oil for a smooth lavender accord, or use it with Geraniol and Citronellol for a fresh rosy-floral character. Hedione can increase floral radiance, while citrus oils can brighten the opening and woody materials can add depth.
