  • Applications

    Nerolidol, (6Z)-(+)-, CAS 142-50-7, is a sesquiterpene alcohol widely used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative. In perfumery and personal care, it contributes to floral-woody notes and helps stabilize and extend scent in products such as lotions, shampoos, and other cosmetics. It is also used as a fragrance component in household products like air fresheners and cleaners to impart a lasting aroma. In addition, nerolidol may be used as an aroma/fragrance ingredient in certain flavor and fragrance formulations, and it can serve as an intermediate in fragrance chemistry under appropriate regulatory and formulation controls.
