  • Applications

    Myrcenyl methyl ether (CAS 24202-00-4) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, contributing green, citrus-like notes derived from myrcene and can function as a fixative or scent-modulator within fragrance formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it is evaluated as a fragrance component. In household and cleaning products, it may appear as a fragrance additive to impart a characteristic aroma in detergents and cleaners. As an intermediate in fragrance chemistry, it can serve as a precursor for other aroma compounds. It may also be considered for applications in polymers/plastics and coatings as a fragrance additive, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
