Description

Citronellyldodecanoate is a high-purity ester synthesized from citronellol and dodecanoic (lauric) acid. This compound is valued for its exceptional stability, low volatility, and ability to impart a long-lasting, mild floral-woody character. It serves as a key fragrance ingredient and emollient, primarily demanded by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and fine fragrance industries for creating sophisticated, durable scent profiles and skin-conditioning formulations.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: Acts as a substantive base note and fixative in perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes, enhancing longevity and diffusion.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used as a skin-conditioning emollient and fragrance component in lotions, creams, soaps, and deodorants.
• Home & Air Care: Incorporated into premium air fresheners, fabric softeners, and household cleaners for a persistent, pleasant aroma.
• Flavor Enhancement: Employed in trace amounts to add subtle floral nuances to certain food-grade flavor compositions (where compliant).
• Industrial Aromatics: Serves as a modifier and stabilizer in technical fragrances for functional products.
