Geraniol

Geraniol adds a sweet, rosy fullness that Citronellol alone cannot give. It is a key part of rose, geranium and palmarosa-type accords and is used in perfumes, soaps and room fragrances. Read more about Geraniol on Wikipedia.

Odour profile

Sweet, rosy and geranium-like with a soft citrus nuance.

Key facts

Typical usage

Typical level in a fragrance concentrate: 1–10%. These are starting points, not limits. In finished products, dose the complete fragrance oil at the normal level for that product (for example around 15–25% in an alcohol perfume, 6–10% in candles and 1–3% in soap).

Blends well with

Citronellol, PEA, Linalool, Ionones, spices and woods. See all aroma chemicals.

Tips

• A little goes a long way next to PEA and Citronellol.
• Can slowly discolour in some soap bases; test first.
