Natural Linalool is an acyclic monoterpene alcohol isolated via steam distillation or molecular distillation. Characterized by its **floral, sweet aroma with woody-citrus undertones**, this colorless to pale yellow liquid is a cornerstone of fine perfumery. As the primary component in ho oil (85–95%) and lavender oil (25–38%), it offers dual functionality as a fragrance enhancer and bioactive agent with clinically validated anxiolytic and antimicrobial properties.
