DMBC, or DiMethylBenzylCarbinol, is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume, soap or air fresheners.

Use

DMBC has a spicy floral scent that in its pure form can be somewhat medicinal, much like phenylethyl alcohol. When diluted, it provides a nice punch for flowers like rose, jasmine and narcissus. The smell is not very strong, so it can be used undiluted. Typical use is in floral chords as mentioned, where it adds some character in the form of spicy accents. You usually use between 0.5% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is primarily a top note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
