Applications
Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene alcohol with a floral‑woody scent, widely used across real-world applications in fragrance, cosmetics, household products, agriculture, and industrial sectors. In perfumery, it serves as an odorant and a fixative to extend fragrance longevity. In cosmetics and personal care, it is commonly employed as a fragrance ingredient. In household products and cleaners, nerolidol provides a pleasant aroma. It is studied for natural insect-repellent properties and may be used in pest-control formulations. Additionally, nerolidol can function as a fragrance ingredient or as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds in industrial manufacturing.
