Geranyl Acetone is a fresh and elegant aroma chemical with a green, floral and slightly fruity character.

It can provide freshness without the sharpness associated with some highly volatile citrus materials.

In perfumery, Geranyl Acetone is useful in floral, green, citrus, fruity and fresh compositions. It can add brightness to the heart of a fragrance while helping create a smooth transition from fresh top notes into floral and woody materials. Its versatile character makes it useful in both fine fragrance and functional fragrance applications.
