Coranol (firmenich) smells like a pleasant, floral scent reminiscent of linalol, with a hint of coriander.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1989): Floral bois de rose coriander
IFF: Floral, fresh, spicy
Firmenich: A nice flowery note reminiscent of linalol ex-coriander
Coranol is much longer lasting than linalol. it is an excellent building block that is very stable.
Pell Wall Perfumes: Fresh-floral, rosewood, spicy-coriander
Arcadi boix camps first mentions coranol in 1985 and gives a more extensive description in his later writing. this is from 2006: coranol is “one of the most important chemicals used today. coranol has an extremely fresh, floral, somewhat vibrant rosy-metalic note that is really almost impossible to replace. it combines exceptionally well with dihydromyrcenol … imparting to every fragrance its freshness, its strength and its diffusion. it blends exceptionally well with citrus, florals, woody, spicy and musky notes and harmonises with green-metalic products such as stemone, paradisamide, labienoxime or buccoxime.” he continues to say that it “is being used everywhere, and it is a real key’ for the top note of the olfactive forms achieved with it. some few examples where coranol has been used are bulgari for men (musky, habanolide, muscenone delta), l’eau d’eden (ozonic), dune for men (metalic green, woody, coumarin-like), ô de lancôme for men (fougere, mossy) and issey miyake for men (metallic , woody, ambery, diffusive).”
