Linalool (/lᵻˈnæloʊˌɒl, liː-, -loʊˌɔːl, -ləˌwɒl, -ləˌwoʊl/ or /ˌlɪnəˈluːl/) refers to two enantiomers of a naturally occurring terpene alcohol found in many flowers and spice plants. These have multiple commercial applications, the majority of which are based on its pleasant scent (floral, with a touch of spiciness). It has other names such as β-linalool, linalyl alcohol, linaloyl oxide, p-linalool, allo-ocimenol, and 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol.
