Citronellol 85
Used in 20 formulas
About this material
Citronellol 85 opens with a fresh, green, and slightly rosy scent that is bright and uplifting. As it develops, the sweetness becomes more pronounced, revealing a soft, floral character that is reminiscent of geraniums. This material is effective in adding a natural, clean quality to compositions, often used to enhance floral and citrus notes without overpowering them. It works well in both feminine and masculine fragrances, providing a fresh lift and a hint of sweetness. Pair it with bergamot or lemon for a vibrant citrus blend, or use it alongside rose and jasmine to amplify floral accords. The '85' grade indicates a higher purity level, which enhances its effectiveness in formulations.
