About
A bicyclic sesquiterpene-type fragrance alcohol with a woody-herbaceous character used at low concentrations in fine fragrances.
This trimethyl-substituted bicycloheptenylmethanol is a sesquiterpene alcohol derivative with a complex bicyclic structure. Sesquiterpene alcohols are widely distributed in essential oils and generally have favorable skin tolerance profiles with low irritation and sensitization potential. The norbornane-type skeleton provides interesting olfactory properties and substantive fragrance performance. No EU restrictions apply to this class of compounds in cosmetic applications, and they are commonly used in natural and synthetic fragrance compositions.
