Product Description
Citronellol is a naturally derived terpene alcohol found in rose, geranium, and citronella oils. It is typically extracted through steam distillation and subsequently purified to achieve high-quality fragrance-grade material.
Known for its fresh, sweet, and rosy-floral aroma, Citronellol offers excellent tenacity, smoothness, and compatibility with both natural and synthetic perfumery ingredients. It enhances floral accords, adds softness, and provides a natural character to many fragrance compositions.
Citronellol is widely used in fine fragrances, soaps, lotions, household products, and aromatherapy blends. It also serves as a flavoring component in fruit, citrus, and floral-inspired food-grade applications.
