Description

Hydroxy Citronellal is a classic floral aroma chemical renowned for its soft, fresh and elegant lily-of-the-valley character. It combines delicate muguet-like floral notes with sweet, citrusy and slightly green nuances, making it one of the important materials for building fresh floral fragrances.

In perfumery, Hydroxy Citronellal is widely used in muguet, floral, green, fresh and white-floral accords. It provides volume and softness to the floral heart and can help create a clean, airy and naturalistic impression. Its smooth character makes it particularly useful in both fine fragrances and functional fragrance applications.

Hydroxy Citronellal also works as an excellent blending material, helping connect fresh top notes with richer floral and musky base materials.
