Fenchol Key Features

Typical monoterpene alcohol structure

Fenchol is a bicyclic monoterpene alcohol with a distinct aroma profile and good stability.  It does not degrade rapidly in formulations, making it suitable for use in high-end fragrance systems.

Natural origin

It can be isolated from natural essential oils or prepared through synthesis, meeting the dual demands of the fragrance and flavor industry for both "natural feel" and regulatory compliance.

Excellent compatibility

It is highly compatible with various terpenes, alcohols, and esters, and is often used to adjust and enhance the complexity and longevity of fragrances.

Easy to store and transport

It is stable under normal storage conditions and suitable for large-scale procurement, storage, and international transportation.

Fenchol Main Applications

Fragrances and flavorings

Fenchol is widely used in personal care fragrances, home fragrances, and industrial perfumes. It is often used as an important component in woody and herbal fragrance notes to improve the complexity of the aroma and its lasting effect.

Personal care and household products

In soaps, shampoos, shower gels, and cleaning products, Fenchol can be used as a fragrance ingredient, providing a fresh and natural scent to the products.

Fine chemicals

Fenchol can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other terpene derivatives or fragrance molecules, and is applied in fine chemical and organic synthesis research.

Fragrance research and formulation development

In fragrance research and sensory evaluation, Fenchol is often used as a standard monomer for aroma structure analysis and formulation comparison studies.

Precautions

  1. Fenchol should be stored in a cool, dark, and sealed environment to prevent odor changes caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

  2. At the same time, contact with air should be minimized to maintain the stability of its aroma.

  3. It may trigger undesirable chemical reactions when stored with strong oxidizing agents and should therefore be stored separately.

  4. When performing industrial or laboratory operations, it is recommended to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses to avoid prolonged skin contact.

  5. If accidental contact with skin occurs, wash with water and a mild cleanser; if irritation develops, consult a healthcare professional.

  6. During transportation, attention should be paid to the integrity of the packaging, ensuring that the containers are properly sealed to prevent leakage and contamination.
