THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This record is anchored to a public 2024 GC report for Bursera delpechiana sold as linaloe berry oil. It shows the expected rosewood-like oxygenated profile led by linalool and linalyl acetate, with alpha-terpineol, geranyl acetate, caryophyllene, and oxide/ester support. Product pages for linaloe wood align on the same botanical, wood origin, steam-distilled production, and sweet floral-woody middle-note character.

Traditional & reported uses
These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.
- traditionally used in aromatherapy for calming, relaxing effects due to its high linalool content
- reported to support restful sleep and ease occasional tension
- used in perfumery as a soft, woody-floral base reminiscent of rosewood
- traditionally regarded as a gentler, sustainable alternative to rosewood oil in blends
- used in massage blends for a soothing, comforting aroma
For aromatherapy and wellness use only — not medical advice. Effect statements are traditional/reported associations, not treatment claims. The Synergy Rating scores blend craft, harmony and safety, not medical efficacy. Read the safety framework.
What we're still learning · 2 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- The 8% maximum dermal value comes from a public secondary compilation explicitly attributed to Tisserand and Young rather than a directly transcribed primary profile page.
- Odor intensity 60 is an archive normalization from Edens Garden's middle-note, clean sweet fruity-floral description rather than a native published 0-100 measure.
