Linalool is a naturally occurring aromatic compound derived from essential oils. It is a terpene alcohol found in many plants, including lavender, coriander, and rosewood. Chemically, it exists as two enantiomeric isomers, S and R forms, both of which are found in plants. Linalool is widely used in personal care products for its pleasant floral scent, which is often described as fresh, clean, and reminiscent of lavender with a slight citrus edge.
