Compiled from the Note Identification Project Thread:
Linalool Having smelled real rosewood, I expected to be unimpressed, but this is a pleasant surprise. Surely its not as good as rosewood, but it has that lovely woody-lemon aroma. I realize that my favorite mens fragrances feature linalool, at least the ones that dont bury it under citrus, herbal, and leather accords. Excellent note.
Linalool: aha, this is an interesting, widely used note. Floral? Not to my nose. Initially, it smells like anise or artemisia and a tiny bit lemony. The impression is bitter-sweet. This note is joined by green shoots, and in this phase I am able to associate the scent with a green floral note - the smell of tulips comes to my mind. Eventually, the anise note takes on woody undertones. It is rather tenacious.
Linalool: at first I got pretty, inoffensive, floral - rosey(ish). Then suddenly it changed and became resolutely minty
