Science
Mechanism of Action
This compound primarily operates as a fragrance ingredient, enhancing the overall scent profile of a product and providing a perfuming effect on the skin. Furthermore, certain derivatives, specifically bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene compounds, are recognized for their ability to induce a cooling sensation on skin or mucous membranes, similar to that of menthol.
