Description

Ethyl Geranyl Ether is a versatile fragrance and flavor intermediate prized for its fresh, floral, and slightly fruity aroma profile reminiscent of rose and citrus. This compound matters for formulators seeking to create sophisticated, natural-smelling bouquets in fine perfumery and high-end consumer products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and cosmetic industries for applications ranging from fine fragrances and personal care items to specialty food flavorings.

Application

• Fine Fragrance Formulation: Used as a key top or middle note in perfumes, eau de toilettes, and colognes for its fresh, rosy-citrus character.
