Applications
Citronellyl oxalate is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, and may function as a fixative due to its moderate volatility. In cosmetics and personal care, it is formulated into perfumes, creams, lotions, and body washes to deliver a refined, long-lasting floral–citrus note. In household products, it is commonly employed as a fragrance additive in air fresheners, cleaners, and laundry products to enhance scent profiles. In coatings and inks, it can be used as a fragrance additive to impart or reinforce aroma in scented coatings and printed materials. Additionally, citronellyl oxalate is often evaluated as an intermediate in the synthesis of other citronellol-derived esters for fragrance applications, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
