  • Applications

    Lindestrene (CAS 2221-88-7) is a fragrance ingredient used to recreate the honeyed, floral-green linden (lime-blossom) nuance, widely applied in fine fragrance and consumer products to add bloom and lift across the top–heart transition, round out muguet, honeysuckle, acacia and jasmine accords, and impart a gentle leafy tint to citrus, aldehydic and chypre themes; in personal care it softens and refines the scent of soaps, shower gels, shampoos and lotions; in home and fabric care it enhances cleanliness and airy freshness in detergents, fabric softeners, surface cleaners, air sprays, candles and reed diffusers with good substantivity on textiles; it is valued as a modifier/bridging note that increases naturalness and liveliness, masks base off-notes and improves accord cohesion, blending well with green and muguet materials; typical dosage depends on the product matrix and applicable regulations (e.g., IFRA), and finished formulas should be checked for stability, compatibility and safety, including allergen labeling where required.
