Description

trans-Nerolidol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol prized for its pleasant, woody-floral aroma with subtle green and citrus notes. Its primary value lies in its versatility as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent, offering excellent stability and blending properties. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and personal care industries seeking to create sophisticated, natural-smelling profiles. Its application also extends into agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals as an intermediate or active ingredient.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key building block for woody, floral, and green accords in fine fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, and detergents.
• Flavoring Agent: Used to impart subtle floral, citrus, and tea-like notes in food products and beverages.
• Personal Care: Incorporated into lotions, creams, and shampoos for its scent and potential soothing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral building block in the synthesis of more complex therapeutic molecules.
• Agrochemicals: Investigated for use in pheromones and as a natural insect repellent or synergistic agent.
• Industrial Aromatics: Used in air fresheners, household cleaners, and other functional products requiring a fresh, natural scent.
