Use

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. You often use it in larger quantities and the smell is rarely overpowering. Making a dilution is therefore unusual. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
