Ingredients Linalool Geraniol Citral benzyl salicylate citronellol limonene.
Let’s explore these common fragrance ingredients:
Linalool (3,7-Dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol): Linalool is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol found in many flowers and spices, including lavender, coriander, and rosewood. It has a fresh, floral scent with a slightly sweet and woody undertone. It’s often described as having a lavender-like or lily-of-the-valley character. Linalool is widely used in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and other scented products to add a fresh, floral, and calming note.
Geraniol (3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol): Geraniol is another naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol found in plants like rose, geranium, and palmarosa. It has a strong, sweet, rosy, and floral scent. It’s a key component of rose oil and is used to add a rich, floral, and often slightly citrusy note to perfumes and other scented products.
Citral (3,7-Dimethyl-2,6-octadienal): Citral is a naturally occurring aldehyde found in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges, as well as in lemongrass and other plants. It has a strong, fresh, lemony, and citrusy scent. It’s used to add a bright, citrusy, and uplifting note to perfumes, cleaning products, and food flavorings. Citral is actually a mixture of two isomers, geranial (or alpha-citral) and neral (or beta-citral).
Benzyl salicylate (Phenylmethyl-2-hydroxybenzoate): As mentioned previously, benzyl salicylate is a naturally occurring ester found in many plants, including ylang-ylang, jasmine, and cloves. It has a sweet, floral, and slightly balsamic scent. It’s used in perfumery as a fixative (to help other scents last longer) and to add a sweet, floral, and slightly powdery note. It’s also used in some sunscreens for its UV-absorbing properties. While generally considered safe for use in fragrances, it can be a potential allergen for some individuals.
Citronellol (3,7-Dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol): Also mentioned before, citronellol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid found in plants like citronella, rose, and geranium. It has a fresh, floral, rosy, and citrusy scent. It’s used to add a fresh, floral, and rosy note to perfumes, soaps, and other scented products. It’s also a component of citronella oil, which is used as an insect repellent.
Limonene (1-Methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)cyclohexene): Limonene is a cyclic monoterpene that is the main component of citrus peel oils. It has a strong, fresh, citrusy, and lemony scent. It’s widely used in perfumes, cleaning products, and food flavorings to add a bright, citrusy, and uplifting note. It’s also used as a solvent in some industrial applications.
In summary: This list consists of naturally occurring fragrance ingredients that contribute to fresh, floral, citrusy, and sweet scent profiles. Several of these ingredients, including Geraniol, Citral, Benzyl salicylate, and Citronellol, have the potential to cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Therefore, it’s essential for manufacturers to adhere to regulations regarding their usage and labeling.
