Attention!

Before purchasing, read all information below and the general product information.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids or other internal use.
Intended to be mixed with other fragrances: on its own, the scent can be boring or even unpleasant.
Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a final product.

Use

Terpinyl acetate has a fresh scent reminiscent of aromatic herbs such as lavender, but also with some blossom and even citrus in it. The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is as a background scent in fresh herbal accords. You usually use between 1% and 30% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with herbal, spice scents, but also with citrus. In perfumes, it is mainly a top note that continues into the heart. It is stable in most products, including soap and candles. It is not stable in bleach and very acidic products with a pH below 3.

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