Description

Perillen is a naturally occurring monoterpene ketone, also known as p-mentha-1,4-dien-7-al, valued for its distinctive aromatic profile. This compound serves as a key intermediate and flavor/fragrance ingredient, prized for its contribution to fresh, citrus-woody, and spicy notes. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food, and cosmetic industries seeking to create complex, natural-smelling products. Its high volatility makes it a potent top-note component in various formulations.
