Phellandrene is often used in fragrances and are responsible for giving some plants a very distinctive mint and lemon fragrance with a touch of pepper. It is mostly found in the oils of eucalypts.
Phelladrenes are double bond isomers and are cyclic monoterpenes.  α-phellandrene have inner double bonds while β-phellandrene has one external double bond.

Monoterpenes: One of the many terpenes, monoterpenes (the smallest of the terpenes, although one of the most widely occurring) are mostly found in essential or volatile oils. Aromatherapists use monoterpenes as a mucus membrane tonic as decongestants and to ease nasal and other mucus membrane discomfort.

Monoterpenes evaporate easily and have a low boiling point. Monoterpenes are mostly colorless and odorless, prone to oxidation. Oxidants from monoterpenes could be irritant.

Monoterpenes are antiseptic, antiviral and bactericidal.
