A perfumery critic one said this chemical was "lavender on steroids" and while there is much merit to such an idea, Dihydromyrcenol is so much more. It is such an easy material to blend that it can't simply be pigeonholed into the lavender family.
Dihydromyrcenol in overdose is the classic material for masculine top notes but in small amounts it adds a modern and very inimitable twist to feminine top notes as evidenced in Gabrielle by Chanel and myriad other scents. Dihydromyrcenol is almost as indispensable as a high quality Bergamot FCF and Linalool these days.
A 1:1 ratio with the best Lavender oil you can buy is beautiful and a supremely addictive synergy is created when the same is modified with a touch of Allyl Amyl Glycolate.
Ours is a fine quality from Ventos.

Dihydromyrcenol delivers a powerful fresh citrus character reminiscent of lime and bergamot, complemented by lavender-like floral notes with a clean, slightly metallic undertone.
Essential for creating fresh, clean fragrances; provides lasting citrus-lavender character in fougères, colognes, and functional products.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
