Comment (FraterWork)
Linalool really needs no introduction; it is one of the most commonly used aroma
chemicals today. It is abundant in nature with the oils of Rosewood (Aniba
roaeodora, not the type Pianos and stringed instruments are made from, Dalbergia
nigra) and Shiu wood (also known as Ho wood) containing the highest amounts
naturally (over 80%).
In combination with its ester Linalyl Acetate, Linalool can be used to create
the effect of citrus freshness without its characteristic odour of oranges or
lemons. This makes it incredibly useful for novel top notes.
Linalool blends extremely well with Dihydromyrcenol
[https://fraterworks.com/products/dihydromyrcenol] and the entire citrus family
[https://fraterworks.com/collections/citrus-suite] where it can modify and
extend those notes. It has a light woody quality and also blends well with most
materials in that category also.
Our Linalool comes from BASF in Germany which makes extremely fine aroma
chemicals. BASF is our preferred supplier for many standard materials due to
their meticulous care in manufacturing. No other supplier produces such a clean
and true Linalool.

Alternative Names: Linalol
Use (Hekserij)
Linalool is an extremely versatile fragrance. If you were to make a top ten of
the most versatile fragrance materials or most commonly used fragrance
ingredients, linalool would be in it. The reason for this is, among other
things, the scent, which has aspects of flowers, citrus, herbs, greens and
fruit. Most people find the fragrance pleasant, but this fragrance also mixes
well with many other scents. On fragrance compositions it has a kind of unifying
effect, like a varnish that closes small holes and cracks. It may be for this
reason that many perfumes contain linalool, less than 5% linalool is almost
uncommon.
The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. You usually use
between 2% and 20% of this substance in the fragrance composition. In perfumes
it is mainly a top note, it is stable in most products, including soap.

nature, it is found in many types of essential oil. We supply a synthetic
