ACETATE LINALYLE – floral, green and citrus note with hints of sweet lavender, bergamot and fresh pear

A fresh, green, floral scent reminiscent of lavender, with citrusy bergamot nuances, slightly fruity with a hint of pear. Linalyl acetate, a common ester in perfumery, has a fresh, spicy scent with nuances of bergamot, lavender, and clary sage. The scent ranges from medium to weak in strength, balanced by a woody, slightly floral character. It is primarily used as a modifier/blender in fragrances, enhancing bergamot, lavender, lavandin, and petitgrain compositions. While effective in blending fruity top notes, its effectiveness in soap is limited, as good fixation is required. It interacts with citronellol and geraniol esters, enhancing the effect of bergamot and reinforcing the citrus notes. It modifies fruity top notes and is widely used in floral compositions, sitting between the top and middle notes.
