The molecule is a sesquiterpenoid primary alcohol, being methanol in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 2,5,5,8a-tetramethyl-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydronaphthalen-1-yl group. It is a sesquiterpenoid, a primary alcohol, a member of octahydronaphthalenes and a homoallylic alcohol. It derives from a hydride of a drimane.
