Application Overview

Citronellyl Acetate is a versatile ester used to bring clean, fresh floral volume to a wide range of fragrant products:

• Fine Fragrances (Rose & Floral Accords): It is an essential component for reconstituting the rose and geranium oil profiles, providing the fresh, high-impact top and heart notes. It is also key in creating delicate lily of the valley (Muguet) and hyacinth accords.

• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Used extensively in the scenting of luxury soaps, lotions, shampoos, and antiperspirants. Its good stability and clean odor profile make it ideal for products requiring a fresh, long-lasting floral character.

• Aromatherapy and Air Care: Incorporated into diffusers, candles, and linen sprays for its fresh, uplifting, and sweet rose-like aroma that is perceived as natural and pleasant.

• Blending and Modification: Acts as an excellent blending agent, harmonizing sharper citrus or green notes with richer floral components, improving the overall diffusion and smoothness of the perfume.

• Chiral Purity Optimization: Citronellyl Acetate is a derivative of citronellol. We optimize the synthesis to ensure a high purity of the preferred optical isomer, maximizing the natural, fresh, and desirable rose-geranium character while minimizing any potential fatty or waxy off-notes.

• Enhanced Oxidation Resistance: We employ inert gas blanketing and specialized stabilizers in our storage and drumming processes. This guarantees superior resistance to oxidation compared to standard commercial grades, ensuring the fresh, bright quality of the ester is preserved over time.
