Linalool

Description: Linalool is a common synthetic aroma ingredient with intense floral, lavender and sweet notes at room temperature. Linalool should be the ingredient that gives the lift in an overall heavier composition (enhance the aroma profile of products). Newer derivatives, particularly the higher homologies of Linalool, are excellent modifiers/blenders with proper mellowing effect upon the more volatile Linalool.
