  • Applications

    (+)-Perillyl alcohol, CAS 57717-97-2, is used in fragrance and flavor-related applications as a natural monoterpene alcohol. In perfumery it functions as a fragrance ingredient and as a chiral building block for the synthesis of other monoterpenoid aroma compounds; it is also commonly evaluated as an intermediate in the preparation of fragrance and flavor derivatives. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be included as a fragrance ingredient, and in household products it acts as an odorant additive. In industrial manufacturing it serves as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of specialty monoterpenoid derivatives used in various formulations, and it is sometimes considered as a building block for pharmaceutical or agrochemical synthetic routes, all subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
