Comment (FraterWork)
A perfumery critic one said this chemical was "lavender on steroids" and while
there is much merit to such an idea, Dihydromyrcenol is so much more. It is such
an easy material to blend that it can't simply be pigeonholed into the lavender
family.
Dihydromyrcenol in overdose is the classic material for masculine top notes but
in small amounts it adds a modern and very inimitable twist to feminine top
notes as evidenced in Gabrielle by Chanel and myriad other scents.
Dihydromyrcenol is almost as indispensable as a high quality Bergamot FCF and
Linalool these days.
A 1:1 ratio with the best Lavender oil you can buy is beautiful and a supremely
addictive synergy is created when the same is modified with a touch of Allyl
Amyl Glycolate.
Ours is a fine quality from Ventos.

Usage
Average use (FraterWork)
2.8% in a perfume compound
Uses (FraterWork)
Essential for creating fresh, clean fragrances; provides lasting
citrus-lavender character in fougères, colognes, and functional products.
IUPAC Name: 2,6-dimethyloct-7-en-2-ol
Use (Hekserij)
Dihydromyrcenol has a citrus scent with characteristics of mainly lemon and
lime, but also bergamot. The smell is not very strong, so you can use it
undiluted. Typical use is in citrus accords. You usually use between 2% and 30%
of this substance in the fragrance composition, but with real citrus scents it
can be even more than 50%. It combines well with fruit and citrus scents, but
also with fresh spicy scents. It is primarily a top to middle note in perfumes
and is stable in most products, including soap.
IFRA 51 (FraterWork)
No restriction for category 4
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Dihydromyrcenol is a pale yellow to yellow liquid at room temperature. The
purity is at least 99%. The substance has a fairly long shelf life and is
virtually non-existent in nature. For use as a fragrance, the synthetic version
is used, which is largely based on vegetable raw materials.
