Geranyl Formate (CAS 105-86-2) is an aromatic ester derived from geraniol and formic acid, offering a very pleasant fruity–floral scent profile. It opens with a bright, slightly citrusy facet reminiscent of soft orange and lemon, intertwined with nuances of apple, pear, and ripe peach. Underneath lies a gentle rose–geranium floral body with a light green touch. The overall impression is clean, natural, soft yet diffusive, making it ideal for modern compositions that need a refined fruity character without becoming overly sugary or candy-like.

In perfumery, Geranyl Formate is often used as a linker between rose, geranium, bergamot, sweet orange and fruity notes such as peach, apricot, and pear. It helps to “round off” the transition from citrus top notes into a floral–fruity heart, adding juiciness, clarity, and a natural feeling to the entire fragrance structure. It performs particularly well in floral, fruity-floral, citrus-floral, tea-inspired accords, as well as in “clean” and soft skin-scent style creations.

Geranyl Formate can be used across a wide range of applications, including fine fragrances, body mists, and scented personal care products such as shower gels, shampoos, and perfumed lotions. It is also suitable for home and fabric care fragrances like room sprays and scented laundry products. Thanks to its fresh, well-defined character and high versatility, it is a valuable building block to boost diffusion and enhance the natural fruity–floral impression in many different types of formulas.
