Nerol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol with a sweet, fresh, and slightly citrusy-floral scent, found in rose oil and neroli. Softer and more delicate than its isomer Geraniol, Nerol adds realistic freshness and petal-like softness to floral, citrus, and cologne-style perfumes. It is prized for its ability to round out top and heart notes with a natural green sparkle and elegant floral nuance.

Perfect for building romantic florals, colognes, rose accords, and vintage citrus blends.
