Description

Citronellyl Acetate is a versatile floral-citrus aroma chemical with a soft, fresh and elegant character. Its odor profile combines rosy, citrus, fruity, green and slightly sweet facets, making it a useful ingredient for creating fresh and natural floral effects.

It is closely related to the odor profile of citronella and rose materials, but its acetate character provides a smoother and more rounded impression. In perfumery, it is widely used to add freshness and a soft rosy character to fragrance compositions.

Citronellyl Acetate works particularly well in rose, floral, citrus, fresh and fruity-floral accords. It can also help soften sharper citrus or green ingredients while contributing to the overall diffusion and smoothness of the composition.

Perfumers' Tip

Citronellyl Acetate is excellent for creating a soft, fresh rosy-floral character. Combine it with Citronellol and Geraniol for a fuller rose accord, or use it with Bergamot and Linalool for a fresh citrus-floral effect. Hedione can add radiance and diffusion to the overall composition.
