Overview of Beta-Terpineol

Beta-Terpineol (molecular formula C10H18O) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant floral, lilac-like fragrance. Widely used in the fragrance and flavor industry, it adds fresh, sweet, and slightly citrusy notes to perfumes, soaps, cosmetics, and personal care products. Beta-Terpineol is insoluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and oils, making it ideal for perfume formulations, aroma chemical synthesis, and cosmetic applications. It is often used in combination with related aroma chemicals like Geranyl Caproate and Limonene to create well-rounded and long-lasting fragrance compositions.
