  • Applications

    Ethyl geranate is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, delivering a geranium-like fruity note; it is evaluated for flavor applications as a flavoring component in confectionery and beverages; it appears in cosmetics and personal care products to provide a distinctive aroma; it is used in household products such as air fresheners and cleaning agents to impart a pleasant scent; as an aroma chemical, it may also serve as an intermediate in fragrance formulation and related polymer or coating systems under applicable regulations.
