Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Menthol has a pronounced minty scent. It is typically used to recreate or enhance essential oils from the Mentha genus. It provides an intense trigeminal freshness and aromatic impact right from the top note.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Data not available.

Isomerism :

Menthol has four pairs of isomers (laevorotatory and dextrorotatory), derived from the presence of three asymmetric carbons in the molecule. Menthol, NeoMenthol, IsoMenthol and IsoneoMenthol are part of the isomers mixture. Only L-Menthol causes a sensation of cold during olfaction and is the most often used in perfumery. Citronellol, Dihydromyrcenol and Patchone® are among the L-Menthol isomers. These have very different smells from L-Menthol, as they are more floral or earthy and woody.
