Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a final product.

Use

Dimetol (Giv) has a fresh, green herbal scent reminiscent of linalool: spicy, lavender, some blossom and citrus. The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in floral accords, especially of rose and violet. You usually use between 0,1% and 8% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is about as versatile as linalool and can partly replace it; it fits in citrus, spicy, wood and various other scents. It has the advantage over linalool that it is normally not allergenic. The difference is that it has more of a citrus character than linalool. In perfumes it is mainly a top note, it is stable in almost all products, also in soap and even in bleach.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place and out of reach of children.
