Nerol

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium-grade Nerol, a highly purified aroma chemical and natural isolate possessing an exquisite, sweet, and fresh rose-like floral character with distinct citrus undertones. Combining Kannauj’s centuries-old traditional distillation heritage with state-of-the-art fractional distillation technology, we isolate this monoterpene alcohol to a guaranteed 98% purity (Assay). This meticulous processing ensures an exceptional, consistent olfactory profile that meets the stringent demands of global perfumers, cosmetic chemists, and industrial fragrance houses.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Nerol (CAS 106-25-2) is characterized by a fresh, sweet, floral-rose, and citrusy aroma. It is the cis-isomer of geraniol, offering a distinct green, wet-leaf top-to-middle note transition that is cleaner and more refreshing than its trans-counterpart. It acts as a crucial middle note, bridging delicate citrus top notes with richer floral base accords.

Its versatile chemical structure makes it indispensable across several industrial applications:

• Fine Fragrances: Essential for replicating natural rose, neroli, orange blossom, and jasmine profiles in luxury perfumes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Adds a sophisticated, non-irritating floral scent to high-end creams, lotions, and facial serums.
• Soap & Candle Manufacturing: Highly stable in alkaline formulations (soaps) and exhibits excellent cold and hot throw in soy and paraffin wax candles.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness: Used in therapeutic blends to introduce a calming, uplifting citrus-floral nuance that helps alleviate stress and tension.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

As a highly concentrated aroma chemical, Nerol requires precise dosing to achieve optimal olfactory synergy in your formulations:

• Perfumery Rose/Neroli Accord: Combine 15% Nerol with 30% Phenethyl Alcohol, 25% Geraniol, and 5% Linalool to build a classic, dew-kissed floral heart note with enhanced buoyancy.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: Incorporate at a concentration of 0.1% to 0.5% in emulsions. Nerol provides a subtle, fresh aroma without the high sensitization risk associated with complex unrefined essential oils.
• Cold Process Soap Scenting: Use at 1% to 3% of the total oil weight. Nerol's structural stability prevents discoloration and helps retain the fresh floral aroma through the demanding saponification phase.
• Industrial Fragrance Blending: Acts as an excellent modifier for citrus, herbal, and chypre compositions, introducing a wet-green, naturalistic rose element that softens sharp aldehyde top notes.
