Andre navne: 3,7-Dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol, (se også tabellen)
Linalool er en monoterpenforbindelse der forekommer i to isomere former (S- og R-linalool), de to former har forskellig lugt (Sugawara et al., 2000). Forbindelsen bidrager til aromaen af mange planter. Linalool er fundet i: Jordbær (Ulrich, D. et al. 1995), humle, guava (Psidium guajava), ferskner (Prunus persica), blommer (Prunus domestica) ananas (Ananas comosus), almindelig stinksvamp. prikbladet perikum og passionsfrugt (Passiflora edulis). S-Linalool er fundet i tomater (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), i den æteriske olie fra Korianderfrø (Coriandrum sativum L.), i appelsinblomster (Citrus sinensis Osbeck). R-Linalool er fundet i lavendel (Lavendula officinalis), laurbær (Laurus nobilis) og i basilikum (Ocimum basilicum) (Lewinsohn, E. et al. 2001).
