From the literature
TGSC, suppliers, and others, quoted as filed.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1985)“Fresh bois de rose herbal wet green lavender bergamot”
Givaudan“Fresh, floral, rich ethyl linalool has a floral, fresh, bergamot character and is sweeter and less agrestic than linalool. as with linalool, it is used in a wide variety of notes for floral bouquets.”
Pell Wall Perfumes“Fresh, floral, herbal-coriander, rosewood, wet, green, bergamot, lavender arctander seems quite enthusiastic: “this alcohol has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a modifier for linaiool with certain advantages over that marerial. ethyl iinalool has a somewhat slower rate of evaporation and is easier to work with, needs only normal fixation, and blends with more materials. it introduces softer, more floral-woody, less citrusy notes, according to the composition in which it is used. along with ethyl iinalyl acetate, it forms a pleasant bergamot-type background note even in soap perfumes, a combination which is more stable than bergamot oil itself. the alcohol is also an interesting item in muguet, lilac, lily, appleblossom, etc. as well as in fantasy creations.””
Perfumery Laboratory“Sweet, fresh, floral fragrance. sweeter and less woody compared with linalool”
