Geranyl Nitrile is a synthetic fragrance with a fresh, citrusy odor, often used in perfume formulations to provide a stable citrus note.
Unlike natural citral, which oxidizes quickly, Geranyl Nitrile offers greater shelf life and stability, making it a valuable ingredient in fine perfumery.
Use in Perfume Formulations
- Citrus Accords : Enhances lemon, lime and grapefruit notes and prevents rapid oxidation.
- Floral compositions: Works well in rose, jasmine and lily of the valley accords, adding a green freshness.
- Green & Spicy Notes: Used in spicy and fougere fragrances to enhance freshness and vibrancy.
- Longevity & Fixation: Helps extend the longevity of citrus-rich perfumes by stabilizing volatile top notes.
Despite its versatility, Geranyl Nitrile has a negative recommendation from IFRA.
