Description

Nerol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol, a key isomer of geraniol, with the CAS registry number 106-25-2. It is prized for its fresh, sweet, rose-like odor, making it a fundamental building block in fragrance and flavor creation. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the perfumery, cosmetics, and food flavoring industries seeking to impart natural floral notes.

Application
