Fragrance allergens › Pinene

Pinene

Pinene (CAS 127-91-3) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 165 materials in this catalog carry it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Pinene smells like

The softer, greener side of pine; woody and citrus-tinged with a dry, nutmeg-like spicy quality. Adds a natural terpenic backbone to citrus reconstructions and a snapped-twig greenness to florals.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
