Description

Linalool Oxide is a distinctive aroma chemical with a fresh, sweet floral character accompanied by herbal, earthy and tea-like nuances. The furanoid form is particularly associated with a characteristic black-tea impression and lavender-like floral facets, while other forms can show a more pronounced floral character.

In perfumery, Linalool Oxide is valued for adding lift and natural complexity to floral compositions. It can help create tea accords, fresh floral effects and essential-oil reconstitutions while providing an interesting bridge between fresh, floral, herbal and woody materials. Givaudan specifically describes it as useful for giving additional lift to floral accords and for creating fresh earthy effects in essential-oil reconstitutions.

Perfumers' Tip

Use Linalool Oxide when a floral or citrus composition needs freshness with a more natural, herbal-tea character. It is particularly effective in small amounts for adding lift and connecting floral notes with green, woody or earthy facets. For a recognizable tea effect, combine it with complementary fresh and herbal materials rather than using it alone.
