The information here describes the ingredient in general. Its possible sources may vary and do not necessarily show the origin or form used in a particular YUMA product. For product-specific information, check the relevant product page.
Description
Trimethylbenzenepropanol is a synthetic fragrance ingredient known for its bright and fresh scent. It is widely used in personal care products and perfumery, imparting a distinct floral aroma strongly reminiscent of muguet, or lily of the valley, a particularly popular and classic fragrance note. Trimethylbenzenepropanol is produced exclusively in laboratories through specialized chemical synthesis. Modern trends encourage perfumers to use renewable raw materials for its creation, supporting sustainability and the preservation of the planet's valuable natural resources.
Additional information
- The lily of the valley (muguet) scent mimicked by trimethylbenzenepropanol has a long history in perfumery, with the first fragrance based on it created in 1905 by Coty.
- The use of synthetic ingredients like trimethylbenzenepropanol helps protect natural plants, as lily of the valley is difficult to extract and is often protected as an endangered species.
- The molecular structure of trimethylbenzenepropanol allows it to interact with olfactory receptors similarly to natural lily of the valley compounds, faithfully reproducing its scent.
