Dihydro Myrcenol is a synthetic aroma chemical used to deliver powerful fresh, citrus-aromatic brightness with strong diffusion. Clean and highly recognisable, it forms the backbone of many modern fresh, sporty, and functional fragrance profiles, like Cool Water, Eternity for Men and Polo Sport.

Dihydro Myrcenol presents a bright, fresh profile with sharp citrus, lavender-like aromatic facets, and a clean metallic-green edge. The aroma is crisp and expansive rather than sweet, projecting energy and cleanliness. It reads distinctly modern, contributing freshness, volume, and immediate impact.

Dihydro Myrcenol functions primarily as a top-to-heart note and freshness driver, shaping lift and projection.

Recommended concentration: 1–8% (lower for nuance, higher for bold fresh styles)

Particularly effective in:
Fresh, sporty, and aromatic fragrances
Fougères and modern masculine structures
Functional and “clean” scent profiles

Blends well with:
Citrus notes (bergamot, lemon, lime)
Lavender and aromatic herbs
Musks, woods, and amber materials for balance

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including soaps, detergents, room sprays, and home fragrance where strong freshness is desired

It provides immediate freshness and long-lasting diffusion.
