Dihydro Myrcenol is an iconic molecule in modern perfumery, renowned for its bright, aromatic freshness. It evokes citrus fruits, lavender, lime, and the impression of clean laundry drying in the open air. Diluted in DPG, it reveals itself in a more nuanced way: the first few seconds are lively, almost sparkling, then give way to a crystalline freshness that lingers on the blotter or skin.
You'll find it at the heart of many citrus, fougère, and "clean" accords. Dihydro Myrcenol is used to lengthen citrus notes, energize floral bouquets, lighten certain woods, and give the whole a crisp, invigorating, modern effect. In many contemporary creations, it's what builds that "clean" and airy freshness sensation that we associate with certain everyday perfumes.
To smell it, place a few drops on a blotter or in the hollow of your wrist, let it develop for a few minutes, then try to spot, in a finished perfume, that fresh, green and slightly lemony halo that it brings to the composition.

Additional information
The raw materials offered here are solutions diluted in DPG (dipropylene glycol) , specially designed for olfactory discovery. They are not intended for creating ready-made perfumes at home, but primarily for educational use: allowing users to smell, in isolation, the note hidden at the heart of certain compositions and to understand how it behaves on a blotter or on the skin.
By exploring these raw materials, you go behind the scenes of perfume formulation: how a woody, amber, floral, or musky note shapes an accord, how it evolves over time, and how it transforms the perception of a finished fragrance. This direct access to the perfumer's "toolbox" allows you to refine your sense of smell, put words to what you love, and approach your everyday perfumes with a more discerning eye.
The House of Perfume also occasionally organizes workshops dedicated to raw materials , led in collaboration with a perfumer. These sessions, both technical and informal, offer an opportunity to discuss materials, formulas, and the creative process, step by step. If you are interested in this type of workshop, please contact us using the contact form : we will inform you of upcoming sessions and how to participate.
