Description

Citronellyl Butyrate is a floral-fruity aroma chemical with a soft, fresh and rounded character. It combines the familiar rosy facet of citronellyl materials with sweet, fruity and slightly citrusy nuances contributed by its ester character. The result is a smooth material that can bring warmth and fullness to floral compositions without dominating the fragrance.

In perfumery, Citronellyl Butyrate is useful for developing rose, fruity-floral and fresh compositions. It can help soften sharper green or citrus materials while adding a subtle fruity dimension to the heart of a fragrance. The material is particularly suitable for creating rounded rose accords and can be blended with other floral alcohols, citrus materials and fruity esters to develop more natural and contemporary fragrance profiles.
