Description

Geranyl Formate is a floral ester with a fresh, green and slightly fruity odor character. It combines delicate rose and geranium-like facets with citrusy, herbal and soft fruity nuances, creating a bright and naturalistic impression. Compared with Geraniol, its esterified character can provide a smoother and lighter interpretation of the familiar geranium-rose profile.

In perfumery, Geranyl Formate is useful in rose, geranium, fresh floral, citrus and green accords. It can add freshness and lift to floral compositions while helping soften and round the overall fragrance profile. It works particularly well with floral alcohols, citrus oils and green materials and can be used to build fresh, elegant floral fragrances.
