  • Applications

    Geranylfarnesol (CAS 22488-05-7) is a terpene alcohol with real-world use across several industries. It is used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery formulations and personal care products to extend aroma. It is also employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex terpenoid compounds for the chemical industry. In consumer household products, geranylfarnesol may serve as a fragrance component in cleaners and air fresheners. It may function as a specialty additive or precursor in polymer and coating formulations to impart fragrance characteristics. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
