About

Coranol is a Firmenich aroma chemical, CAS 83926-73-2. It smells fresh and floral, like linalool from coriander, with rosy and lily-of-the-valley sides and a faint metallic edge. It lasts much longer than linalool. Perfumers use it as a heart note.

Scent Profile

Coranol smells fresh and floral, close to linalool from coriander but longer lasting. A rosy, lily-of-the-valley note sits at its centre, with a faint metallic edge. A touch of bergamot brightens it, and a lavender-like herbal note runs alongside. A trace of coriander-like spice and a thin rosewood note sit beneath. It carries a white-flower note, like jasmine, beside the rose and the lily-of-the-valley.

Smell words come from published sources.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

Coranol is made by synthesis. It is 4-cyclohexyl-2-methylbutan-2-ol. Firmenich patented its use in perfumery in US 4,701,278 and sells it as Coranol. IFF sells the same molecule as Coramor.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Coranol where linalool would go but must last longer and stay stable. It adds freshness, lift and volume to the heart of a floral, and it suits lavender, freesia and muguet accords. It blends with citrus, floral, woody, spicy and musky notes, and with green-metallic materials such as Stemone. It is used in fine fragrance and in functional products.
