As soon as I saw the title, first thing that came into my mind was "linalool". I had to smile when I got the confirmation. :) Informative video, as always!
Iam pharmacist and as a chemist iam finding perfume and cosmetics subiject extreemly interesting. Beside i love using perfumes. Thanx for interesting content
Perhaps some additional information , Linalool has two isomeric forms, a little bit like mirrors from each other, the (S)-(+)-linalool or old name coreandrol and the (R)-(-)-linalool or the old name licareol , the first can be found i.e. coriander seed oil about 84%of the S form neroli, petit grain and other the latter I.e. in lavender (95% R form) basil (100% R form) etc, they have both a different odour ( also flavour) threshold of which the R form around 10 ppb and S form around 38 ppb and they have both a distinctive different scent profile the S form green, herbal, floral and a musty sub note, the R form more Lavender, petit grain with lily of the valley sub notes, synthetic linalool is mostly a mixture of both ( 51/49%) and out of sensory tests the scent of it is more closer to this of the R form, so needing to take account of this in the scent matrix. Linalool occuring in nature typically exist as one of the predominant optical forms but not always, the R form is more common than the S form in essential oils. Last but not least it’s a attractor for pollinators and repellent for others 😊
Sam, thanks for explaining! Also do you have a video regarding IFRA? I found it hard to find some information regarding Europe and the IFRA. Like there are everyday coming new brands selling perfume (importing them from dubai or something like that) but I am 100% sure they don't have any IFRA but still sell in the stores...so much questions haha
Is that similar with linalyl acetate? I mean abt the natural background thing. Btw it would nice if you would make more vids abt often used raw materials and their uses for example ionones and their use/role
But it doesn’t answer the question as to why it’s banned in perfumes. For example this perfume has been discontinued due to linalool being banned. What’s bad about linalool?
hi sam, i have a question about dilluting, im kinda new to perfume making, so if i already dillute my raw material, do i have to add more alcohol when i mixing it with another material or not, thank you man
Well described Sam.. Sarah McCartney makes it a point to pronounce it "linalo - ol" so that's what I've been using. 😊 Too true about its ubiquitousness!
Double check that honey … for example karanal is banned in the eu but not in the uk contrary to many’s belief …but still I would suggest you should say banned in the uk if something is banned here rather than saying the eu because ultimately we are not in the communist Eu xxxx

Your videos are always so good! Im excited to learn perfumery!!
Thank you so much, good luck!
Linalool is in nearly all my fragrances including obsession underarm deodorant. Thanks for explaining why.
Yaaasss! You're 100% right! Linalool isn't just in perfumes, most of skincare and haircare too!
Yes you’re right, thousands of other products too

Lovely, thank you for this insightful addition
Ive seen Linalool in a lot of the Natural Perfumes I like -- Definitely on my list for my "Formulations" :)
Great video as always man! Can you make a video about gourmand perfumes?
What about them specifically?
@@sammacerIt can be anything really! Raw materials , accords or making a gourmand perfume from scratch.
i also notice the BHT antioxidants when there is linalool in their formulations,
Can you do a video about perfume oils and what oil base (wether synthetic or natural) is best used for such perfumes?
Thanks for making this video. Linalool is everywhereee and I have no idea what they really are and why people use it
Hope it cleared things up!
SAM which perfume do you like & want to use hole life ...?
It’d be hard to choose
@sammacer come on you can ...you're perfumer..

1. Silky musk by Surrati
2. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Issey Miyake
Great video! What can I add to increase the proyection of parfum? Thank you

The uk isn’t governed by eu law so what about uk laws ? For linalool?
Ironically the UK essential copy pasted the EU laws so it’s the same currently afaik
Double check that honey … for example karanal is banned in the eu but not in the uk contrary to many’s belief …but still I would suggest you should say banned in the uk if something is banned here rather than saying the eu because ultimately we are not in the communist Eu xxxx
