About
A dimethylated aromatic alcohol — a floral perfumery ingredient used under normal fragrance controls.
Dimethyl benzenebutanol refers to a class of methylated phenyl-butanol aromatic alcohols used in perfumery for floral, jasmine-adjacent, green notes. Aromatic alcohols of this size have a moderately well-studied fragrance safety background, with IFRA/RIFM setting category-specific maximum concentrations. Considered acceptable at normal fragrance-use levels; standard fragrance-allergen risks apply to sensitive users.
