Description
Geraniol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol found in a variety of essential oils, including rose, geranium, citronella, and lemongrass. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow, clear liquid and is characterized by a soft, elegant floral aroma with a classic rosy sweetness, complemented by subtle citrus and fresh green nuances.
Owing to its natural scent profile, good diffusion, and excellent compatibility with other fragrance ingredients, geraniol is widely used in fragrance, flavor, and personal care applications. It serves as a key component in floral and fresh accords, enhancing brightness, smoothness, and overall fragrance naturalness.
