Fenchol

Description and usage notes:

This is an extremely diffusive, fresh material that is widely used to improve lift in citrus, pine, floral and other fragrance types.  It comes as a semi-liquid crystal matrix as a result of being a mixture of isomers with the alpha isomer present in the highest proportion (95%).

Arctander describes it as: “Powerful and diffusive, Camphor-like, but sweeter and more Citrus-like almost Lime-like odor with more or less of an earthy-dry character, according to the composition and isomer-ratio. … This interesting alcohol (or mixed alcohols) finds use in perfume compositions ranging from woody or herbaceous to Citrus-Lime and even certain floral types. It produces power and ‘lift” to floral fragrances, and solid background to Lime and other Citrus bases, having the advantage over the Terpenes in being very stable in soap.”
