Pell Wall Perfumes: Linalool, rosewood, spicy

Pell Wall Perfumes: Linalool, rosewood, floral, fresh
This is laevo-linalool isolated by physical means from the essential oil of cinnamomum camphora the camphor wood tree the leaves of which can contain as much as 85% linalool. it is distinctly fresher and cleaner than the synthetic with no spicy or other off-notes at all. plus of course ideal for use where naturals only are permitted. see the entry for generic linalool for details of usage and some quotations from arctander.
