Use

Nerol has a sweet floral scent with fresh citrus notes of orange blossom and rose. The smell is not very strong, so it can be used undiluted. It is very versatile, but is mainly used in orange blossom in larger quantities. In smaller quantities in flowers like rose and magnolia, fruits like citrus and melon. It also works very nicely with wood and with bitter scents such as oud and myrrh. An interesting way to learn how to use it is to replace all or part of citronellol in a formulation with nerol. Nerol, like citronellol (and geraniol, phenylethyl alcohol), is a rose alcohol. Citronellol is a bit fresher than nerol, stronger towards the scent of rose. Nerol is more floral and more towards orange blossom. Playing with the stakes or proportions of these substances provides insights into variations within a floral accord. You usually use between 0.1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition, but more is certainly possible. It is primarily a heart note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soaps and scented candles. In pale and very acidic products (pH < 3), the substance is less or not stable. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
