Dihydromyrcenol (DHM)

Dihydromyrcenol (DHM) is a powerful and widely used aroma chemical known for its clean, fresh, citrus-soapy scent with light green and floral nuances. It is a key ingredient in modern fragrance design, especially in fougère, aquatic, citrus, and fresh floral perfumes, where it adds brightness, clarity, and long-lasting freshness.

In perfumery, DHM functions as a top-to-heart note bridge, helping connect sparkling citrus openings with floral or aromatic heart notes such as lavender, neroli, and orange blossom. Its excellent diffusion and stability make it an essential ingredient in modern masculine colognes, fresh fragrances, and “clean scent” compositions.

Dihydromyrcenol blends smoothly with musks, woody notes, aldehydes, and citrus oils, enhancing projection while maintaining a smooth fragrance structure. Because of its crisp and hygienic scent profile, it is also widely used in body sprays, shampoos, soaps, deodorants, detergents, and household fragrances.
