Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Citronellol has a fresh floral scent with light citrus aspects. The scent is not
overly strong and it is not overpowering, so you can use it undiluted. It is a
very versatile fragrance that you can use in many perfumes up to half the
fragrance component. Citronellol is one of the rose alcohols and is therefore
used in almost all rose and geranium components. In addition, it is an excellent
building block for perfumes with citrus, floral scents and ambers. It can be
used to add a little floral to spicy scents, for example in fougères. It is
primarily a heart note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including
soap.
