Synonyms: Cetotabac Classification: Top Note[i]
Myrcene opens with an immediate burst of fresh, almost citrus-like sweetness reminiscent of ripe mango. This monoterpene's character sits between resinous warmth and ethereal freshness. Its volatility delivers instant impact that dissipates quickly.
You'll find myrcene invaluable as a lightening agent in heavy spice compositions where it adds buoyancy without diluting character. It excels at smoothing fatty citrus notes whilst contributing its own sweet-balsamic warmth. Use it sparingly in masculine fragrances to brighten bay leaf and clove accords without sacrificing depth.
Combine myrcene with linalool for calming lavender-like effects or pair with limonene to amplify citrus vibrancy. In trace amounts it bridges green top notes with woody bases. At higher concentrations it creates the characteristic freshness found in premium masculine colognes.
Myrcene has a moderate odour presence (4/10 strength) when evaluated directly, but shows a restrained impact in blends (3/10). Can be used generously without dominating.

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.
