Description

Citronellol 96 is a high-purity grade of Citronellol, a widely used floral aroma chemical known for its soft, fresh and distinctly rosy character. Its odor profile is smooth and elegant, combining rose-petal nuances with subtle citrusy, green and slightly sweet facets. The material is an important building block for creating naturalistic rose impressions in modern perfumery.

In fragrance construction, Citronellol 96 is useful for developing rose, floral, fresh and clean accords. It can provide body and softness to the floral heart while helping connect bright citrus top notes with richer floral materials. Its clean rosy character also makes it suitable for functional fragrance applications such as soaps and body-care products. It blends particularly well with other rose alcohols and floral ingredients, allowing perfumers to adjust the freshness, fullness and natural character of a rose accord.
