Lavandulol

Lavandulol is a monoterpene alcohol found in a variety of essential oils such as lavender oil.[3] The term refers to either of two enantiomers. The (R)-enantiomer is natural and has an aroma described as "weak floral, herbal odor with slightly lemon-like, fresh citrus fruity nuance"; the (S)-enantiomer has only a weak odor.[1]
