Nerol (high purity) is the little brother of the rose alcohols, being used in smaller quantities and fewer formulas than the big boys: Citronellol, Geraniol and Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol. In addition to being vital for recreations of Neroli and Orange Blossom oils, Nerol really does add important nuances to rose materials, particularly an inimitable freshness. It can also be used to add seashore and ozonic hints to a scent. BASF, founded in 1865 as a dye maker, has come to produce some of the best aroma chemicals. Boasting high purities and a quality much appreciated by perfumers, they are the top of the class in many instances. Nerol blends beautifully with Citronellol 98, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, Geraniol Extra, Rose Oxide Laevo, and Rhodinol ex Geranium Bourbon.
