Description

Dihydromyrcenol is a high-purity, versatile fragrance intermediate and chemical building block. This compound is valued for its fresh, clean, citrus-lime odor profile and excellent stability, making it a cornerstone ingredient in modern perfumery and flavor creation. It is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and fine chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for their formulations.

Application

• Fragrance Industry: A primary building block for creating fresh, citrusy, and lime top notes in fine perfumes, colognes, deodorants, and personal care products.
• Flavor Industry: Used as a flavoring agent or intermediate to impart fresh, citrus nuances to food and beverage products.
• Household & Industrial Products: Key component in air fresheners, detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning agents for its powerful and persistent fresh scent.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules like Lyral® (Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde) and other terpene derivatives.
• Cosmetics & Toiletries: Incorporated into soaps, shampoos, shower gels, and lotions for its refreshing and uplifting aromatic qualities.
• Technical Fragrancing: Used in functional products where odor masking or a consistent fresh note is required, such as in polymers or industrial coatings.
