Triethyl Citrate (Natural)

Triethyl Citrate (Natural) is a naturally derived ingredient obtained from citric acid and ethanol, commonly used in perfumery as a neutral solvent, fixative, and functional ingredient. It is appreciated for its very low odour profile, allowing it to support fragrance compositions without altering their intended scent character.

The material typically appears as a clear, colorless liquid with low viscosity, and is valued for its excellent stability and compatibility with a wide range of aromatic materials. Because of its mild nature and high purity, it is frequently used when a clean, nearly odourless carrier is required in fragrance formulations.

In practical perfumery, Triethyl Citrate is often employed to dilute and stabilize fragrance materials, improve the handling of crystalline ingredients, and contribute to better balance and longevity within a composition. It is also widely used in fine fragrance, personal care products, deodorants, and natural fragrance systems, where a neutral and reliable solvent is needed.
