Hydroxycitronellol

About this material

Hydroxycitronellol opens with a fresh, green floral scent that has a slightly sweet, rosy character. As it develops, it reveals a soft, almost soapy quality that adds a clean, uplifting aspect to compositions. This material is particularly effective at enhancing floral accords, providing a bright, radiant lift without overpowering them. It works well in both feminine and unisex fragrances, and can also help to soften sharper notes in a formula. Pair it with other florals like jasmine or rose for a harmonious blend, or use it to balance citrus notes. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.180% to 1.40%, with a common concentration around 0.310%.
