Citronellol is a terpene alcohol with a fresh, dewy rose character, gently sweet, slightly green–fruity, and touched with a citrus–waxy nuance. It is one of the fundamental “bricks” for constructing floral themes (rose, peony, muguet) and for softening and rounding citrus–aromatic and clean woody accords. With good diffusion and mid-note persistence, it feels natural and skin-friendly.

Citronellol may be obtained as a natural isolate from rose, geranium, citronella and related essential oils, or produced synthetically to fragrance grade. Its sensory profile can vary subtly with optical isomer ratios, yet consistently centers on a clear, transparent rose impression. At SCENT, we source Citronellol for a clean odor, low impurities, and stable performance across fine fragrance, personal care, and home products.

In formulation, Citronellol brightens and cushions floral notes, adding naturalness and smoothness to the heart; it can tame harshness in aldehydic/citrus top notes and bridge into herbaceous–woody facets with a luminous clarity. Thanks to its gentle personality, it adapts easily to many styles-from classical florals and refined gourmands to crisp soapy scents and elegant candles.

Technical attributes: a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive rosy odor; insoluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol, perfume oils, and common fragrance solvents. Generally stable under proper storage; oxidation may occur over time, so keep containers tightly closed and protected from air and light. Recommended storage cool (around 20–25 °C), away from heat; typical packaging includes aluminum or HDPE bottles with seals.

Safety & compliance: Citronellol is a commonly listed fragrance allergen and may require labeling in certain markets (e.g., EU for cosmetics). For commercial development, consult the applicable IFRA Standards for each product category and conduct compatibility and, where appropriate, skin tolerance checks. SCENT can provide COA, SDS, and relevant compliance documentation on request.
