Lavandulol


Lavandulol is a monoterpene alcohol found in a variety of essential oils such as lavender oil. The term refers to either of two enantiomers. The -enantiomer is natural and has an aroma described as "weak floral, herbal odor with slightly lemon-like, fresh citrus fruity nuance"; the -enantiomer has only a weak odor.
Lavandulol and its esters are used in the perfume industry and have been identified as insect pheromones.
