Geraniol
INCI: GERANIOL
Type: Perfuming, masking agent
Origin: A naturally occurring monoterpenoid found in essential oils of rose, geranium, citronella, lemongrass, and palmarosa. Can also be synthesized. Our trace presence comes from natural essential oil components in our fragrance blend.
What it does
Geraniol is a primary fragrant compound responsible for characteristic sweet, rosy floral notes with a hint of citrus. It is one of the main components of rose and geranium oils. Its primary functions are:
- Perfuming: Contributes sweet, rose-like, slightly citrusy scent notes. Adds warmth and floral character to fragrance compositions
- Masking: Helps blend and round out the overall fragrance profile. Softens sharper notes naturally.
