Coranol

What Coranol smells like

Coranol (Firmenich) is, in Firmenich's words, a floral note reminiscent of linalool from coriander, with technical descriptors floral, lavender, freesia and bergamot; it is much longer-lasting than linalool and very stable. Retailers describe a fresh, diffusive floral with rosy and lily-of-the-valley facets and subtle spicy-metallic nuances, and a transparent floral-green with muguet and lavender qualities.

What makes Coranol distinctive

It is linalool that lasts: the fresh coriander-linalool floralcy, with lavender and freesia, carried much further into the drydown than linalool itself.

Where the descriptions disagree: Firmenich describes a linalool-type floral; retailers describe it as muguet.

How Coranol is used

Used as a stable floral building block where a fresh linalool-type note must last — in fine and functional fragrance.

Typical role: blender (smooths the joins between other materials).

How Coranol differs from similar materials

Mayol

Mayol is a muguet and magnolia; Coranol is a linalool-like floral with lavender, freesia and bergamot.

Linalool*

Firmenich describes Coranol as reminiscent of coriander linalool but much longer-lasting and very stable; linalool is lighter and fleeting. (compared directly by a cited source)
