LINALOOL COEUR 762253 SYMRISE (LINALOOL) – floral, woody, and citrusy note with hints of rosewood, coriander, and fresh spring flowers

Linalool Coeur 762253 Symrise is a fundamental raw material in the perfumer's palette, with a fresh, bright, and natural floral profile, characterized by nuances of rose, lily of the valley, lavender, and coriander. Compared to a more generically perceived linalool, this material offers a particularly clean and well-centered quality, useful when building an elegant, airy, and technically stable floral freshness.

Olfactorily, it opens with a slightly citrusy and aromatic floral freshness, then develops a soft, sweet, almost bois de rose note, with green, herbaceous, and slightly waxy accents. It is a very versatile raw material: it can support lily of the valley, rose, lavender, neroli, white flower, ylang, jasmine, lilac, peony, and freesia accords, but also finds its place in citrus, aromatic, aldehydic, amber, oriental, and woody compositions.

In formulas, Linalool Coeur acts as a modifier and binder: it helps soften transitions between more volatile notes and the floral heart, lightens overly dense compositions, and adds greater diffusion and naturalness to floral and herbaceous accords. It is particularly useful when a composition needs to be made more open, fresh, and breathable without introducing an overly citrusy or green effect.

It integrates very well with floral, aromatic, and herbaceous materials, and is suitable for both fine perfumery and cosmetic and functional applications. The usage level recommended by Symrise is approximately between 1% and 25%, depending on the type of composition and the desired effect.

We also recommend purchasing BHT as a technical antioxidant for formulas containing Linalool. The IFRA Standard on Linalool indicates that oxidation products of linalool, particularly hydroperoxides, can be potent sensitizers and suggests the addition of 0.1% of BHT or α-Tocopherol as a proven effective measure to keep peroxide levels low.
