What is Geraniol？

Geraniol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid alcohol and a primary constituent of rose oil, palmarosa oil, and citronella oil. This compound is characterized by its sweet, floral, rose-like aroma with subtle citrus undertones, making it one of the most important fragrance materials in the perfumery industry. As a versatile ingredient, it serves not only as a fragrance but also as a natural flavoring agent and an intermediate in the synthesis of other aroma compounds. Its excellent stability and appealing scent profile make it indispensable in fine perfumery, cosmetic formulations, and food flavorings.
