  • Applications

    (-)-Carvomenthone (CAS 13163-73-0) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery and personal care, providing a distinct scent in fragrances and skin-care formulations. It is commonly employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of other aroma compounds and may be evaluated for flavor applications in food-related products within regulatory limits, as well as for use in coatings/inks and cleaning products to impart fragrance. In industrial manufacturing, it can serve as a building block for more complex aroma chemicals.
