  • Applications

    2-(4-methylcyclohexyl)butan-1-ol is used as a building block in fragrance chemistry and as a fragrance ingredient itself; in perfumery it may serve as an aroma component and, due to its bulky, hydrophobic cyclohexyl group, as a potential fixative to extend scent retention; in cosmetics and personal care it can be incorporated as a fragrance additive in products such as creams and lotions; in household and cleaning products it is employed to impart a lasting scent; in industrial manufacturing it is evaluated as an intermediate for synthesizing other aroma compounds and specialty chemicals; and in coatings/inks formulations it may be used to introduce fragrance.
