Nerolidol

Nerolidol is an aromachemical for use in, for example, perfume, cosmetics, soap, and air fresheners.

Use

Nerolidol has a light scent reminiscent of blossoms, for example orange blossom: a green floral scent with aspects of citrus and spices. The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in fresh floral accords, especially of orange blossom, but it also combines very nicely with woods. It can have a fixing effect in floral scents, but it also gives a nice fresh note. Think for example of rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and gardenia. You usually use between 0,1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It is primarily a heart to base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
