Described herein is a method of producing drimenol and/or drimenol derivatives, the method including contacting at least one polypeptide with farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). The method may be performed in vitro or in vivo. Also described herein are amino acid sequences of polypeptides useful in the methods and nucleic acids encoding the polypeptides described. Also described herein are host cells or organisms genetically modified to express the polypeptides and useful to produce drimenol and/or derivatives of drimenol.
