  • Applications

    Dihydromyrcenol (CAS 18479-58-8) is a colorless terpene alcohol with a crisp citrus-herbal scent that serves as a key note in fougère, citrus and marine perfumes, deodorants and air fresheners, and is blended into soaps, shampoos, shower gels, fabric softeners, industrial detergents and surface cleaners to impart a fresh, transparent character and mask malodors; it is also employed as an intermediate for synthesizing other aroma chemicals, improves the stability and diffusion of fragrance bases, complies with IFRA guidelines and is readily biodegradable, making it a preferred ingredient in modern personal-care formulations and eco-friendly household products.
