Geranyl Acetate

Geranyl Acetate is sweet fruity floral rose with remote lavender nuances.

Softer and fresher than Geraniol, Geranyl Acetate is extremely versatile as a top note, without being overly floral or green.

Commonly used as a modifier in floral, fruity, citrus and herbaceous fragrance compositions at a rather modest level of between one and five percent of the total perfume concentration, but with greater variation being affordable depending on the purpose of its use.

Geranyl Acetate blends very well with Rose, Lavender, Bergamot, Muguet, Ylang Ylang, Wallflower, Neroli and Leather notes.
