Descriptions
Description
Myrcene is terpy, herbaceous, woody with a rosy celery and carrot nuance
Odor description (Perfumiarz)
Myrcene is an organic chemical compound from the group of unsaturated
hydrocarbons of natural origin, belonging to the monoterpenes, and is a
component of many essential oils. It has strong olfactory properties.
It is often found in plants such as pine, caraway, bay laurel, dill, hemp, sage,
tarragon, and ginger. It is also a pheromone for the spruce bark beetle. It is
poorly soluble in water, but well in ethanol, chloroform, and ether. It was
first synthesized in 1965 by the pyrolysis of α-pinene.
As a pure substance, it is used in the perfume and pharmaceutical industries. It
is also a raw material for the production of substances such as menthol, citral,
citronellol, citronellal, geraniol, and nerol.

Comment (FraterWork)
Myrcene opens with an immediate burst of fresh, almost citrus-like sweetness
reminiscent of ripe mango. This monoterpene's character sits between resinous
warmth and ethereal freshness. Its volatility delivers instant impact that
dissipates quickly.
You'll find myrcene invaluable as a lightening agent in heavy spice compositions
where it adds buoyancy without diluting character. It excels at smoothing fatty
citrus notes whilst contributing its own sweet-balsamic warmth. Use it sparingly
in masculine fragrances to brighten bay leaf and clove accords without
sacrificing depth.
Combine myrcene with linalool for calming lavender-like effects or pair with
limonene to amplify citrus vibrancy. In trace amounts it bridges green top notes
with woody bases. At higher concentrations it creates the characteristic
freshness found in premium masculine colognes.
