Citronellal

Citronellal is a powerful and highly diffusive aroma chemical widely utilized in both fine and functional perfumery, renowned for its intensely fresh, green, and penetrating citrus-lemony character. With its distinctively crisp, aldehydic bite and subtle rosy undertones, it closely mimics the vibrant top notes found in natural citronella and lemongrass oils. It adds an immediate, uplifting, and radiating clean freshness to fragrance compositions.

Suitable for both niche and commercial fragrance development, Citronellal blends effortlessly with other citrus notes, fresh florals (like geranium and rose), herbal, and woody accords. It is an absolute necessity for fresh colognes, outdoor and nature-inspired scents, and high-impact functional fragrancing. Developed for professional perfumers, fragrance manufacturers, perfume brands, and research laboratories, our Citronellal delivers consistent purity, extreme lift, and outstanding performance for large-scale commercial production.
