Description

o-Geranylvanillin is a high-value aromatic chemical compound that combines the structural motifs of vanillin and geraniol. This unique hybrid molecule is prized for its ability to impart complex, warm, and long-lasting olfactory characteristics, making it a critical ingredient in sophisticated fragrance creation. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry for use in premium perfumes, personal care products, and fine fragrances. Its stability and compatibility with other aroma chemicals also make it suitable for high-end functional applications.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: Used as a key middle-to-base note in luxury perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes for its warm, spicy, and balsamic nuances.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into soaps, lotions, shampoos, and deodorants to provide a stable and appealing scent profile.
• Functional Fragrances: Applied in air fresheners, detergents, and fabric softeners where a persistent and pleasant aroma is required.
• Flavor Enhancement: Employed in trace amounts to create or modify complex flavor profiles in gourmet food and beverage applications.
• Aroma Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable intermediate or building block for the synthesis of other specialized fragrance ingredients.

Quality Control

Our o-Geranylvanillin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical tests including HPLC, GC, and IR spectroscopy. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
