Citronellyl acetate

Citronellyl Acetate is a fragrance ingredient widely used in perfumery for its fresh, rosy, and slightly fruity character. Its scent profile is typically described as soft, sweet, and floral, reminiscent of rose and geranium notes, accompanied by delicate citrus-like brightness and light green nuances that add freshness to fragrance compositions.

The material usually appears as a clear to pale liquid with low viscosity, and is appreciated for its smooth diffusion and natural floral freshness in fragrance formulations. Its character is elegant and well-balanced, making it particularly effective for enhancing the brightness and softness of floral accords.

In practical perfumery, Citronellyl Acetate is frequently used to support rose and geranium compositions, while also contributing freshness and lift to floral and citrus-floral blends. It blends particularly well with rose, geranium, citronellol, geraniol, citrus oils, and light green notes, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including fresh florals, rose bouquets, classic colognes, and modern elegant perfumes.
