Description

Citronellyl Isobutyrate is a high-purity, synthetic ester widely valued for its pleasant, fruity-floral odor profile reminiscent of rose and apple. This compound matters as a versatile and stable fragrance ingredient, offering perfumers and flavorists a cost-effective tool for creating complex, long-lasting olfactory experiences. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and personal care industries for formulating fine perfumes, cosmetic products, and food-grade flavorings.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A key component in floral, fruity, and rose-type perfume compositions for fine fragrances, soaps, and detergents.
• Flavor Creation: Used as a flavoring agent in food and beverage products to impart apple, pear, and berry notes.
• Personal Care Products: Incorporated into lotions, creams, shampoos, and other cosmetic formulations for its stable scent.
• Household Products: Adds a pleasant aroma to air fresheners, fabric softeners, and cleaning agents.
• Industrial Deodorants: Used to mask odors in industrial settings and products.
• Aromatherapy & Candles: Serves as a fragrance oil in diffuser blends and scented candle manufacturing.
