Smells of: fruity, sweet
Role: top note, fruity

Methyl Geranate opens with a bright, fruity sweetness reminiscent of ripe strawberries and a hint of citrus. This initial burst is fresh and uplifting, making it an excellent choice for adding a juicy, vibrant character to a fragrance. As it develops, the sweetness softens slightly, revealing a more nuanced, floral aspect that can enhance the overall complexity of a formula. It works well in fruity and floral compositions, providing a lively top note that can also help to bridge the gap between sweeter notes and more grounded elements. Pair it with other fruity notes or florals like jasmine and rose to create a harmonious blend, and use it typically at around 0.100%.
