Ethyl Linalool is a floral–citrus ingredient with a clean, airy brightness-think bergamot–lavender with hints of green fruit and a soft warm woodiness. Overall impression: fresh, luminous, silky, with strong diffusion and a clear “pop” across the top–heart.
Compared with classic Linalool, this ethyl ether is smoother, less sharp, and more tenacious on skin and blotter. It clarifies the base, opens space in the formula, and “polishes” white-flower, muguet, tea, magnolia, and peony accords, while knitting together citrus, aldehydic, and green facets for a more seamless whole.
In use, Ethyl Linalool excels as a bridge note between top and heart, adding lift to citrus–aromatic themes, brightening floral structures, and modernizing fresh soapy profiles. It is especially useful in sparkling colognes, contemporary fougères, floral tea and muguet creations, magnolia, and “clean skin” or “soft woody” concepts.
Technical performance is strong: quick diffusion with a gentle, lingering trail; easy solubility in ethanol and oil; broad compatibility with naturals and synthetics; and better stability than Linalool in alkaline systems such as soap and detergents. It performs well in home fragrance (room sprays, reed diffusers, candles) and is virtually colorless, minimizing base discoloration.
Blending ideas: pairs beautifully with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, Lavender/Lavandin, Hedione/Habanolide, and Calone/Floralozone for a “fresh water–new air” effect; softens Iso E Super, Cashmeran, and dry woods; and boosts the freshness of leafy greens (cis-3-Hexenol/Hexenyl acetate) without harshness. In florals, even a small dose adds sparkle to jasmine, muguet, and peony.
Suggested use levels: 0.1–2% in fine fragrance for lift and cleanliness; 2–5% in body care/hand wash; higher levels may be suitable in home care depending on odor target and stability testing. Add incrementally to tune freshness and softness, as Ethyl Linalool can overtake delicate notes if overdosed.
Development notes: verify packaging compatibility and color stability in each base; follow applicable IFRA guidance for your product category. Ethyl Linalool is a flexible choice to modernize compositions, delivering a crystalline, clean, professional aura across both fine fragrance and functional products.
