Description
Geranyl acetate is a widely used monoterpene ester that occurs naturally in various essential oils, including rose, geranium, lemongrass, and citronella, and can also be obtained through synthetic processes. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow, clear liquid and is characterized by a pleasant floral aroma with rosy sweetness, fruity nuances, and a fresh green note.
Owing to its smooth, natural scent profile and good stability, geranyl acetate is extensively used in fragrance, flavor, and personal care applications. It is especially valued in floral, fruity, and fresh accords, where it enhances softness, harmony, and overall fragrance naturalness.
