Walking a tightrope between the scent of linalool and coriander, Coranol is a wonderful floral fresh heart note that is practically indispensable in modern perfumes. Traces added freshness, overdoses add a much-loved modern character. Coranol is the warm blow of tropical holiday air. On first sniff it is obvious why this is such a beloved aroma chemical. In the words of Perfumery: Techniques in Evolution (a series of articles published in Perfumer and Flavorist magazine): “[Coranol is o]ne of the most important chemicals used today. Coranol has an extremely fresh, floral, somewhat vibrant rosy-metallic note that is really almost impossible to replace. It combines exceptionally well with Dihydromyrcenol … imparting to every fragrance its freshness, its strength and its diffusion. It blends exceptionally well with citrus, florals, woody, spicy and musky notes and harmonises with green-metalic products such as Stemone, Paradisamide, Labienoxime or Buccoxime.” Coranol is found in Aventus at around 2%, 3.5% in 1 Million Elixir, 3.5% in 212 Men Aqua by Carolina Herrera, 2% in Aqua di Gio Profondo, 2.7% in Aqua Pour Homme by Bulgari, and a whopping 6.5% in Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana.
