Geranyl Acetate is an ester of Geraniol, the classic rose alcohol. It has a lovely waxy fruity quality that makes it an excellent modifier of rose and jasmine materials. It also ha s hints of lavender, metal and mushrooms which explains why it suits so many different contexts. The great Steffen Arctander (most famous for his commentary on naturals) describes it thus: “Widely used in perfume compositions as a sweetener and modifier in floral, fruity, herbaceous and citrusy fragrance types, usually at a modest level of one to five percent in the concentrated perfume oil but with great variations according to the purpose of its use. It blends well with Bergamot, Lavender, Rose, Muguet, Wallflower, Ylang-ylang, Neroli and even Leather, Oriental and other very complex fragrance types.” Show more
