Interesting rose note with fruity nuances. The character of a rose with green, leafy, and pear nuances. It also recalls certain fruits (plums, lychees).

It is used to create fruity notes in rose, lily-of-the-valley, and lavender fragrances. Citronellyl acetate has a less green apple note than geranyl acetate and neryl acetate. It may contain traces of citronellol or geraniol. Acetates can form acetic acid over time.

The asymmetric carbon of citronellol gives this compound two distinct odors when separated into its enantiomers: (R)-(+)-citronellyl acetate is fruity and rosy, while (S)-(-)-citronellyl acetate is more aldehydic, dirty, and lemony. In perfumery, these two enantiomers can be used separately. In most cases, a mixture of them is used.

Menthanyl acetate, Verdox®, and Vertenex® are the main isomers of citronellyl acetate. However, menthanyl acetate is much more reminiscent of bergamot, while Verdox® and Vertenex® are more woody.

Flavor description: 1.00 - 5.00 ppm. Floral, waxy, aldehydic, with fruity green nuances. Fruity pear and apple, floral. Can be paired with apple, pear, banana, and berry flavors.
