Documented Uses

• Present in bergamot, lavender, and other volatile oils; [Merck Index] Used in perfumes, soaps, cleaning products, cosmetics, oil paints, and flavoring extracts; [HSDB]
• Painting (Solvents) [Category: Paint]
• Extracts, perfumery, flavoring agent, substitute for petitgrain oil.
• /In perfumery/ it is widely used as a fresh and sweet blender.
• It is an excellent fragrance material for, among others, bergamot, lilac, lavender, linden, neroli, ylang-ylang, and phantasy notes (particularly chypre). Smaller amounts are used in other citrus products. Since linalyl acetate is fairly stable toward alkali, it can also be employed in soaps and detergents.
