Overview of 2,6-Dimethoxyphenol
2,6-Dimethoxyphenol, also known as Syringol, is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a powerful smoky, phenolic odor and medicinal, creamy vanilla taste. Naturally found in wood smoke from lignin pyrolysis, it delivers exceptional 356-hour substantivity making it ideal for long-lasting fragrance bases. With formula C8H10O3, this high-strength aroma chemical (recommend 1% dilution) adds authentic burnt wood, tobacco, and leather character to sophisticated compositions.
Perfumers prize it for enhancing smoky incense, aged leather, and gourmand tobacco accords while flavorists use it sparingly for savory meaty depth.
