Description

Mefrosol is a floral aroma chemical also known as 3-Methyl-5-phenyl-1-pentanol or phenyl hexanol. It has a fresh, diffusive rosy character with geranium, green, muguet and lightly honeyed nuances. Its odor profile is often associated with rose absolute and fresh floral effects, giving it a versatile role in modern fragrance construction.

In perfumery, Mefrosol is particularly useful for creating rose and floral accords while adding freshness, volume and diffusion. It can be used as a longer-lasting floral component in compositions where the soft rosy character of Phenethyl Alcohol (PEA) is desired with a different, more diffusive profile. It also works effectively in floral-citrus structures and can help connect fresh top notes with the floral heart.

Perfumers' Tip

Mefrosol is useful when you want a fresh, diffusive rose effect with more volume and persistence. Pair it with Phenethyl Alcohol for a fuller rose accord, or combine it with Geraniol and Citronellol for a richer natural-rose impression. Its green and muguet facets can also help modernize traditional floral compositions.
