  • Applications

    Geraniolene (CAS 6709-39-3) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery, delivering a geranium/rose-like scent and helping to prolong aroma. It is commonly employed in cosmetics and personal care as a fragrance component in products such as creams, cleansers, and shampoos. In household products, it provides fragrance in detergents and cleaners. In industrial manufacturing, geraniolene can act as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis and may serve as a fragrance-modifying additive in coatings and inks. Applications are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
