Description

Citronellyl Formate is a versatile floral aroma chemical with a fresh, soft and elegant character. Its odor profile combines rosy, citrus, fruity, green and slightly sweet facets, making it useful for adding freshness and natural floral character to fragrance compositions.

It is particularly valuable in rose, geranium, citrus-floral and fresh accords, where it can contribute a smooth rosy character while supporting the brighter facets of the composition.

Citronellyl Formate can also help create a more natural and rounded floral profile when combined with other citronellol and geranium-type materials. Its fresh character makes it suitable for both fine fragrance and functional fragrance applications.

Perfumers' Tip

Citronellyl Formate is useful for creating a fresh, soft and natural rosy effect. Combine it with Citronellol and Geraniol for a fuller rose or geranium accord, or pair it with citrus oils and Linalool for a bright citrus-floral composition. A touch of Hedione can add additional radiance and diffusion.
