Citronellyl Acetate (CAS# 150-84-5) is an ester obtained from citronellol and acetic acid. It appears as a colorless to slightly pale-yellow liquid with a soft, bright and pleasant odour. Its scent profile is a characteristic citrus–floral accord, reminiscent of a blend of lemon and fresh citrus fruits wrapped in a gentle rose nuance, with a touch of smooth fruity sweetness. Thanks to its round, mellow character and good blending behavior, this material is often used as a “linking note” to smooth and unify different parts of a fragrance composition.
In perfumery, Citronellyl Acetate is particularly suitable for citrus, floral, fougère and modern cologne themes, where it helps boost freshness in the top notes while extending the citrus–floral brightness into the heart. It combines very well with citronellol, geraniol, linalool, citrus aldehydes, as well as rose, peony, muguet and jasmine notes to build a clear, airy and approachable floral-citrus body. In personal care and fragranced cleaning products, Citronellyl Acetate is also appreciated for its good stability and clean, pleasant odour that appeals to a wide range of consumers.
Citronellyl Acetate is a useful choice for perfumers when they need to soften harsh or sharp facets in a formula while adding a touch of brightness and a light “juicy” effect to the overall accord. Easy to use at low to moderate dosages, this ingredient helps refine structure, contribute to gentle diffusion, and bring a modern, clean character suitable for fine fragrances as well as home fragrance and everyday scented products.
